Getting rid of sticky price tags on the helmet?

[GrayWolf]

Hi all,

I just bought a fancy new Shark helmet for a great discount price. The only problem is that the discount price tag doesn’t want to come off. Well.. I peeled it but there is a lot of residue 2nd layer of paper stuck to the helmet. I don’t know why they would put stickers that don’t come off easily..

Does anyone have an idea how to take the price sticker (or rather what’s left of it) without having to scratch the helmet with a bread knife or douse it in bleach?

Now here's an interesting thought, is the helmet a polycorbonate one? (plastic)... the manufactureres advice for these helmets usualy states do not use, glues, solvents, solvent based cleaners etc as it can chemicaly weaken the shell... SO,,,, was the 'reduced price sticker' using a glue that is 'polycarbonate' friendly?

Hot, soapy water is your friend. Keep chemicals away from your helmet.

WD40 ftw! Apparently you can also spray it on sore joints of the body ...

No. You are confusing it with Inox.

WD-40 contains solvents that will happily break down plastic.

Chemical stuff on your helmet? You nuts?! For your future safety concerns REPLACE YOUR HELMET IMMEDIATELY!

Eucalyptus Oil... you can use it to freshen, disinfect and clear your nose

Where do you put your nose that it needs disinfecting?

haha those were seperate things

I use it in a spray bottle, with water and isopropyl alcohol to disinfect surfaces.

But I also chuck a few drops into oil burners, and onto a hanky to inhale when we have colds in the house. A few drops in vaseline on the soles of your feet helps get rid of colds too.
