As long as, and some suppliers seem to find this onerous, the sticker can be peeled off cleanly.

(I once bought a grass rake with 2 or 3 dozen metal tines, and it arrived with a huge sticker across all the tines. Which when I attempted to peel off, left a scattered layers of paper hard glued to all the tines. Not happy.

Same with a rolling hot dog cooker. Glued “temporary” sales sticker covering half the transparent hinged top. Not happy.)



Fender did this with my bass guitar. Trying to get the sticker off without scratching it was impossible, and even after using alcohol there's still some residue D-:


Goo Gone is your friend.

My usual flow chart: Nothing, water, alcohol, goo gone.

I’ve never ended up with a marred surface.


Tried that on the transparent cooker cover and it took off just enough of the cover surface with the sticker to look horrible.

Otherwise, yes!


+hair dryer heat, between nothing and water, can make a difference in a difficult peel.
