Is Schestowitz trying to kill me?! haha, jk Roy. ;)
If you know what you are doing, then chemicals used safely are OK. But I
didn't want to take any chances. I would have been careful, though.
I like my laptop to have a smooth surface, and an additional sticker will be
too much.
I always had problems when I'd peel price stickers off my CDs that I got at
the music store. I'm good at peeling stickers away, but there are some
that have goo that feel like molasses. It's awful, and I always test a
corner of a sticker before peeling it. If it's hard to pull off or has too
much goo, then I leave it on. I'll look into Goo Gone for them.
