1. Start by gently peeling up one corner of the sticker with your fingernail or a plastic card. Be careful not to tear the sticker or the ticket underneath.
2. Slowly peel back the sticker at a shallow angle, taking care not to rip the ticket or leave any residue behind.
3. If the sticker is stubborn and not coming off easily, you can try using a hairdryer on a low heat setting to warm up the adhesive. This will make it easier to peel off the sticker.
4. Another option is to use a small amount of rubbing alcohol or adhesive remover on a cotton ball or cloth to help dissolve the adhesive and make it easier to remove the sticker.
5. Once the sticker is removed, use a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe away any remaining residue or adhesive.
6. If there are still stubborn bits of sticker left behind, you can try using a pencil eraser or a sticky tack to gently rub away the residue.
7. Finally, once the ticket is clean and free of stickers, store it in a safe place to prevent any further damage or stickers from being added.
- Apply a small amount of acetone to an inconspicuous area of the ticket to ensure it does not damage the ink or paper.
2. Apply Acetone to the Sticker:
- Soak a cotton ball or swab in acetone. - Gently dab or rub the acetone onto the sticker, avoiding surrounding areas. - Allow the acetone to sit for a few minutes.
3. Scrape or Peel the Sticker:
- Use a plastic card or dull butter knife to gently scrape or peel the sticker away from the ticket. - Be careful not to tear or damage the ticket.
4. Wipe Away Residue (Optional):
- If there is any sticky residue remaining, apply petroleum jelly to a cotton ball or swab and gently rub it over the area. - Wipe away the residue with a clean cloth.
Tips:
- Use a fresh cotton ball or swab for each sticker to avoid transferring any adhesive residue. - Work slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the ticket. - If the sticker is particularly stubborn, you may need to apply the acetone and let it sit for longer periods. - If you are removing multiple stickers from the same ticket, work on one sticker at a time.
Caution:
- Acetone is a flammable substance. Keep it away from heat and open flames. - Do not use acetone on tickets that have been printed on thermal paper, as it can cause the ink to smear.
