Goo-Gone even works on pine pitch, as I found after my husband sat on a
picnic-table bench on a hot July day.  The bench was painted, but the heat
had made sap leak through the paint layer.  The label says "Removes oil,
tape, blood, candle wax, asphalt, tree sap, make-up, adhesives".  I gave it
to the contractor who applied the asphalt to the outside of our basement,
and it took that off, too.  The front label says "Citrus power", so I
wonder if the UK "Sticky-stuff remover" is basically the same stuff.

For label stickum, after soaking the paper off, I let the remainder dry,
then saturate the stickum with baby oil or mineral oil.  Leave it
overnight, then scrape the oil and stickum off.
