i bought one at a garage sale today that was never used. it sat in her garage for a year and the original label is stuck to the outside of the glass. it covers 1/4 of the tank. i tried rubbing alcohol,didnt work. i know fingernail polish remover is supposed to work but i dont have any. anybody got any home remedies that are a for sure thing? i dont want to buy a product because that was the idea of buying it cheap at a garage sale

Soak it in warm water to see if it will help loosen it then scrape it off with a razor blade. Baby oil helps as you are scraping.

Since it is on the outside of the tank, try some Zippo lighter fluid or some air intake cleaner or some wd 40. First remove the sticker as best as possible & these products will remove the left over residue.

It possibly replaced into ammonia. once you place up a clean tank, of direction the water is risk-free, by fact it rather is only sparkling faucet water. it rather is a few weeks later that the waste ammonia starts off to construct up. A small tank, with fairly great fish only makes this subject worse. The cray is only hardier than the perch and it hasn't been killed yet. Ian

I am not sure if this works well on your tank. But when I usually want to take off a sticker from a bottle, I use "hair dryer" to heat and soft the glue then take it off. Give it a try since it doesn't cost any. Good luck!

Since the label is outside the tank, baby oil, razor blades, lots of time.

Depends on the size of course but leaving to soak in warm water for an hour or so should soften the adhesive and it should fall off.

I would try to use either hot water or goo gone. It is only recommened for the outside though, so don't get it on the inside.

get some goo gone and you have stuff to take labels off the rest of your life. its only about 2 dollars at the store.
