Removing Decals from PC’s

June 25th 2010 in News & Updates, Wonder Blade

Often PC’s come with manufactured or asset labels that need to be removed. Due to PC’s being made from plastic then using a chemical is not recommended due to the way it can re-act with the surface.

What is needed is a simple method that won’t damage the surface and is effective. For this application we recommend using either

1) Plastic razor blade

2) Metal razor blade (only if it’s stuck on the back of the PC)

Using a plastic razor blade is simple and won’t damage the surface. As outer casing of PC’s is made from plastic you need to be cautious not to damage or scratch it. Using a plastic blade such as the Wonder Blade is the safest option

If the decal is on the back of the PC, then it’s possible to use a Metal razor blade. We don’t recommend using these on any areas on the front of the PC due to it being able to scratch the surface (and also the ability to cut yourself)

The decalls in my laptop really don’t bother me at all…I’ll rather leave them there and no mess around with my Laptop

have you tried WD-40? test in an inconspicuous spot, but should not affect plastic and will dissolve the adhesive.

To remove sticker peel as much of the label off as you can. Then get some cotton wool with some white spirit. Rub onto the sticker and glue and you will remove it.

It also works for labels on the bottom of women’s shoes!!!!

Some good ideas, I’ve always like using nail polish remover (partly due to the smell!)

WD40 ….

Besides the repeatedly misplaced apostrophe, the random capitalization and unnecessary hyphen, the lack of proper punctuation of the sentences leads me to wonder if I need to take this recommendation at all seriously, or to even consider the product. Asleep in English class for all 13 years? Probably so.

An easier solution would be to buy a Mac. They function better and come without annoying decals.

The syntax comment was unproductive.

These are usually the hasty typos of a busy person (grammar prompts are automatic now). In many cases they are the mistakes of writing in one’s second language, out of courtesy to you.

I understood exactly what he meant, and I encourage everyone to focus on the great discussions in this forum, not the grammar.

As to the subject, I used to immediately tear off the tags, but they are a quick way for your IT or service person to know what they are dealing with, and they don’t get in my way, save esthetically.

The Wonder Story

Are you pulling your hair out in frustration as removing decals and stickers is taking too long? Is it costing you money (and not to mention your finger nails) by struggling through jobs in trying to remove Decals?

My name is Peter Nobbs whose family business been involved in the Decal and Sticker industry for over 20 years.

I like many of you had spent far too long and wasted energy in trying to rip, tear or scratch away Decals (and with little success).

Let me explain the background to this story. We were running a sign business that involved installing and removing a lot of Decals and Sticks. After years of frustration and wasted energy, we decided that removing decals was going to be a very frustrating part of our work, though we always knew that had to be a smart way to remove it....... AND WE FOUND IT”

However before we found the answer, we continued to use all the old ways that we had tried in the past, that didn’t work - Soapy water - Gasoline - Chemical formulations - Metal blades you name it, we tried it

Our prior experiments with trying to remove stickers and decals often resulted in disasters:

- Using my fingers to try and peel off a boat decal that resulted in my nail being worn down to the skin... wearing a band aid to cover my worn down fingernail back to the office was a little embarrassing - And then there was the story about the chemical reaction I wasn’t expecting after a ‘co-worker’ recommended a chemical mix to remove the Decals.

Then we discovered the secret that changed the way we removed Decals.

"I’ve found that nothing removes old registration stickers from your car windscreen like the Wonder blade. It’s a very handy little tool to keep around the house and garage”

Philip Clark

The story of how this secret weapon to removing Decals began, is that we just started trialling different ideas. We kept trialling and trialling until we found something that worked... and worked really well

We soon realised we needed a product that was chemical free, safe enough to use on almost all surfaces and could remove small and large areas of Decals or Vinyl signs.

The result, two products specifically designed to remove Decals and Vinyl.

Wonder Wheel: made of soft rubber and perfect for large areas Wonder Blade: made of plastic and designed for small, more detailed areas

AND NOW after using these products for our own benefit, we are very excited to be able to offer these products to you.
