goo gone works great! I bought some at michaels, I was shocked how good it worked, even made my sticky scissors clean as a whistle!

If you need it done now...and don't want to run to the store...WD-40 works too...a little slower but it does work!

you can also use "Un-Du" (available at Hobby Lobby/Wal-Mart) - it takes off most to all of the residue

Just an FYI that I learned from a non crafty neighbor! You can use a blowdryer to get those stickers loose and residue free! Just heat it up a bit and even on thin cellephane (sp?) wrappers they peel right off!

If your material is waterproof, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are AMAZING! Dampen a small area of the eraser and rub it over the adhesive! GONE!!!!!!!!!
