Spoke to SWMBO this morning (now there's a novelty). Asked her if she could get me some Label Remover when she goes to the shops. She asked what I wanted it for - I explained - she marched into the kitchen and pulled a bottle from one of her cupboards. Yep, sure enough, produced a bottle of Label Remover.
This one is called "Gum-Solv" made by a company called Fleetlight Limited. Tried it and it works brilliantly
I still "scored" the label first with a small modelling blade to assist penetration, applied the solvent, left for 5 mins then lifted the whole label in one with a thin plastic scraper and the drawer front looks as good as new.
I still don't understand why they put stickers on in the first place - the drawers all have a slot on the front for sliding contents information cards in !
So it's well done to SWMBO - "you only had to ask" came the retort.
Strange that it should have the word FLEET in the product name.
Once again, my thanks to all who responded.
Regards,
Ray
