CD Desolving Glue Remover?

[spartanslayer]

I have a set of CDs that I put labels on. The labels are paper with some sort of glue on them. They were designed for CD and I got them at Rite Aid. I'm wondering if there is a way of removing the labels without hurting the CD's. I scraped a label of one with a knife, but the surface is still sticks, and it took forever. Any ideas? Thanks.

I would say soak the cd in warm, NOT HOT water with a little washing up detergent.

This should soften the glue, and enable you to remove the label easier.

the simpilist solution would be to copy the disks to another Cd that doesnt have a label on it.

You might try rubbing alcohol. It usually can remove stickers and things like that. I tried it on a cd, and the cd didn't dissolve or anything, at least not yet .

I don't think acetone hurts cds. Just a sec I have some in my office at work I'll test.

Update 1: DO NOT USE ACETONE it does not play well with cds.

IsoOctane might work, I'll test that in a bit.

Update 2: IsoOctane works fine, doesn't damage the cd at all.

OK, first, it's a game cd, so I can't copy it. Second, it has a label underneath that I don't want to hurt. Thanks for all your help.

You put labels on your game CD's?

Yeah, I don't know why I did it, it was Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna too. Nice Pic. Anyway, I used warm water and detergent, and it worked fine. Still a little sticky, but thanks howard, and anyone else that answered.
