How to remove Stickers from playsets without destroying them?

[AnnaPommes]

Hello peeps!

i found a lullaby nursery on UKPonyCon which is in a bad shape and i am interested to renew/customize it.

thing is, i would really like to keep all the stickers and scan them properly! does anybody have an idea how i could remove them in one piece?

please let me now your secrets!

I haven't tried it on stickers, but hairdryers do wonders on tape! It does make it not sticky anymore, though.

Lemon Essential Oil.   I use it on EVERYTHING   However, I don't think the stickers will be reusable/sticky afterwords....

thank you both!
they do not need to be sticky, i just want to collect and maybe frame them. ^^
i try the hairdryer in a moment and take a look where to get the oil in my city!

There's also an adhesive remover called Undu you could try.  I've had success with it in the past at work but I'm not sure where you can buy it other than Amazon.  Apparently you can't buy it if you live in California, though...

heat worked well on the small stickers, but i will try the oil on the bigger ones!

here are the small stickers if they are usefull for anyone?

omg this is the best thing ever ! Thank you so much for scanning those stickers ! They are so cute !! I'm certain they will be useful for someone. In the very least for some preservation projects !!

That's so cool! Anna, is it ok if I upload them on the wiki? I'll credit you, of course, it looks like no one else had gotten scans.

Sure thing! O.O would you like the letters too? they are a bit damaged, but if you like? A german collector ( http://www.ponylande.de/g1/anleitungen/anleitungen.html) has a lot of them and i originally scanned them vor her. if you are interested, you could ask her for the other scans? But you can upload my scans anytime. ^^

Anytime! I love documenting the artwork of the playsets! and i hope it is helpfull for restauration and artists alike.
when i painted the carpet for the big ponyhouse picture, i looked up and down for a clear picture of that one carpet! luckily, Sonnnnne, the german collector, had a scan!

It's up to you, if it's a hassle to get the stickers scanned then don't worry, but it's really cool! Thanks!

was going to add in that rubbing alcohol works also, I have to use alcohol wipes -even a bit of hand sanitizer- to get name labels off of closets and doors at work, and heat

thank you all! i have all the pig stickers peeled now aswell, but i was impatient and some ripped in a bit. so they are not pristine, but i will put up the scans here later, take them for what you need them for. ^^
