-cost] fabric sample windfall--removing glue
I soaked one piece for several hours, the paper peeled off but the glue
remained
behind.
Freezing seemed to work a little better, but the silk is so thin that it
thawed
out pretty quickly. (Makes me wish for some dry ice)
You might try soaking them
Wow, I'll have to see if I can find that, thanks. Have you used it?

We used Un-Du when I worked as a custom framer. It is amazing stuff! You
might try contacting a local frame supply place to see if they'll sell
it to you. (They may not sell to the public, but it never hurts to ask)

A local interior design store is moving, and is selling off all of their
outdated swatches, cheap. I picked up a bunch of nice pieces to play with, and
I was wondering if anybody had any tricks for removing the glued-on lables?
Some are so old that the glue has turned to powder and the lables
Selling the discontinued samples (read outrage
here) My local decorator just sets the outdated
samples in a box outside her door free for the taking.
I asked her the first time I saw them - she said it
was easier and cheaper than filling up her dumpster
and paying the dump fee. I have such fun
You know, I can understand your outrage, but this way actually is fine with me.
If they just put the outdated samples out in a box, I would never have known;
this particular place is off my beaten path.
The iron seems to be helping loosen the glue, but if I let it get too hot it
just soaks into

You might try soaking them overnight first and see if the labels and goo
can be scraped off.
