cd with glue

[lcvolt]

Hi, i recently bought a copy of FF9 and the game was used, everything was right but there's this bunch of stickers at the bottom that say VOID, and i would like to remove it. i alredy have goo gone, but i was wondering if this liquid would mess up something on the cd. the sticker is a the top of cd, not a t the readable part.

thankyou.

The top of the cd is the worst place to put a sticker.... hopefully it won't remove any of the top.

Or warp the CD, like Block buster stickers do.

I think the sticker's got more chance of ruining the game. Hopefully you can get it all off.

i know how to remove it, is not that strongly pasted, but is using goo gone going to damage the cd?

Difficult question.

You could also try to heat the sticker up with a hair dryer so that the glue gets softer and easier to remove.
Too much heat is dangerous though.

I've had some good luck using very hot tap water. I would take a disc and leave it under for about 5mins and the stickers would come off a lot easier.

I would not do that!!!

Disc will suck water in and rust.

I find the best thing to use in a situation like this is common cooking spray (PAM seems to work best).  The only thing to be sure of is to spray the PAM on a washcloth, rather than directly on the CD itself.  PAM does leave a little oiliness behind if you don't rinse after using it for clean sticker residue, so once you get the sticker residue off, clean the area with a little dab or warm water, then dry and you should be good to go.  I personally use lighter fluid for cleaning stickers from cases, but haven't tried it on a disc yet (mainly because I wasn't sure whether that would ruin the disc).  I have used PAM numerous times and although it takes some patience and "elbow grease" it works great.
