Actually most of those self adhesive glues seem to be petroleum solvent. Some also respond well to alcohol or acetone (nail polish remover). Something like varsol but it will stink and need to be well washed out for petroleum based goo. If you don't have alcohol things like Lysol spray or even most hair sprays are largely alcohol but again you will have to wash the stink out.
Hope this helps.

She just put them away without removing the large label that was glued on each set. I guess from being in the heat and cold in the attic the label became really stuck to the cloth. We were trying to peal the label off and finally tried hot water. This helped so I left them in the sink and added a little white vinegar to try and remove the label and glue. This is not really helping. Any ideas? Lenny http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
