Anyone else seem to have problems getting the faint image of the Spectrum label off the glass? (Its not a residue from the adhesive, I don't think.) I've used glass cleaner and alcohol. Any other suggestions?

Thank you,

Use Bullseye glass instead?

The only problem with that is that BE doen't have the "baroque" pattern on any of their glass.

I use WD40 to remove the "residue", then nail polish remover

There's also a product call Goo Gone. Then I would wash the glass with dawn dishwashing liquid.

pshash and Cheryl...Thank you for answering but you misunderstood my problem. Glass cleaner took off all the label. There is no glue or label residue. This is more like a stain.

It is glue residue, you just can't see it. Use the products described and it will be gone. I use Windex, or the generic equivalent, and a razor blade.
Or, the Kiln Gods are displeased with you.

razor blade, then acetone, then glass cleaner.
Of course that's on Bullseye, your mileage etc.

Magic Eraser works great.

That Ghost disappears when fired I've found.

Fine steel wool and windex......always on mynwork table! You would think however they could use another brand of lables!

Seems like a lot of work to get a label off

I can usually get the label off with just glass cleaner. Occasionally I let the glass cleaner set a soak a little bit and the residue comes off. I have never had to do any of what the people here suggested to get a label off.

You cannot feel anything with this "ghost" or shadow. You can just see where the label was. I tried Goof Off and the magic eraser. It didn't affect the shadow. Hopefully it will burn off as Don suggested.

calcium carbonate, aka whiting, the traditional glass cleaner.
But I still think you could try using Bullseye glass as it might be easier.

AKA Bon Ami?

I use standard window cleaner, but I run a razor blade across the labels to open them up, then saturate with window cleaner and let it sit for awhile. You need to dissolve the adhesive, and that takes a little while. If you rush it, you're more likely to leave residue.

bonami has other stuff in it like feldspar and is $5 a small can. A 50 pound bag of whiting from Greenbarn pottery supplies is probably $20
I guess it depends how many spectrum labels you have to remove. I keep saying use bullseye.

Maybe ... But as I said ... It's what I use ... To each their own

Maybe ... But ... WD40 is fish oil and behaves like Goo Gone and the polish remover finishes it off. I would rather take extra steps to be absolutely sure than to find out the hard way after the firing. Just my humble opinion tho ...[/quote]

wd40 is not fish oil. it's mostly a kerosene-like product and an aerosol.
