Does anyone have the problem I have - where you go to remove a label from a diskette, to find the top paper layer coming off, leaving the bottom half, complete with unremoveable sticky gunk, still in place ? I've tried several methods of removal, and have found that WD-40 worked the best. However, the results still leave much to be desired, so I was wondering if someone might have a better alternative. I use 3 1/2 inch disks. MrScary ---------------------------- s892011@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au

My favorite all-purpose gunk remover is automotive "Bug & Tar
Remover". It removes all kinds of stuff (especially adhesives)
and usually will not harm paint or plastic (although I haven't
tried it on a diskette). Mine came from Turtle Wax, but there are
other brands.
But your real problem is that you're not using removable
labels. I don't know if they're made specifically for disks, but
you can get generic ones at office-supply stores, in various
shapes and sizes.

But how do I remove disk labels (and bugs) from CPIO formatted tapes??
