Things that piss you off Page 765

You have to discover what the adhesive is before your can use the right thing to get it off. If you've had no luck washing with water, then maybe white spirits will remove it.

Cheers. Think it's 'siliconised polyester' !

You probably just don't get it; it's because they make a farting noise.

Ah, I don't fart, you see (being a lovely ladylike lady) so I don't really understand the concept.

Does anyone have any solutions for getting adhesive off of skin? (Yes I've tried washing ta :) ) Got nicotine patch squares all over my arms and I scrub til it's really quite sore but still conspicuously there..

You can buy spray cans of stuff called Label Remover which usually works on such adhesives.

Ooh, never heard of it, thanks. It does annoy me when you can't get price labels off of DVDs (and food packaging actually, but that's probably just me). Just discovered a big tub of heavy duty hand cleaner for bicycle tyre changing hands, so will try that too and hope nothing untoward happens

The chemist used to sell (probably still does) a bottle of stuff for removing sticking plasters - presumably it was safe for the skin.

Nail polish remover is what you need.

Thanks for the suggestions all :)
Not using a patch today since I know there's bugger all chance of me not smoking at the weekend but I shall try out the suggestions next week and report back- no, no, stop your clamouring for this most exciting piece of research, you'll just have to wait

You're not supposed to stick them on your arm. Put them over your mouth so you can't put a fag in there.
