Hi Slug

I sugest that you heat them up with an air dryer first maybe something more powerfull but be very carefull and you peel them verrrryyyy slowwwwwwwwly.

Aren't these labels supposed to have a clear coat on top, does the heat also applyes even if they have this clear coat, or you should scrubb the coat first??

Mmmhh just wondering.

Cheers!!!

If the labels are burried in clear, heating it will not work. It's easy to tell, if you can catch the edge of the labels with your finer nails, they are on top of the clear coat but if they slide over it, the label is under.
