Adhesive Removers


Aerosol Can	Spray Bottle	Bottle	Jug

Remove adhesives and residue from a broad range of surfaces. These removers are effective on common adhesives, such as those found on labels and tape.

Easy-Peel Adhesive Removers—Cleanly peel away tape, labels, and other adhesives without leaving any residue behind. These are our most surface-safe removers—they break the adhesive’s surface bond rather than dissolving the adhesive. They have the mildest odor of our removers and do not need to be rinsed after use.

Citrus Oil—The most common general purpose adhesive removers. They’re safe for most hard and soft surfaces and have a mild citrus odor. However, they leave an oily residue and should be rinsed with soap and water after use.

Acetone—Our fastest-acting adhesive removers. They work on hard surfaces and don’t require rinsing after use, but they have a strong odor and can damage paint, coatings, and finishes. Higher concentrations are more aggressive on both the adhesive and the underlying surface.

Cannot Be Sold to Canada—Removers cannot be sold to Canada due to local chemical regulations.

Adhesive Primers for Film, Signs, and Labels


4 fl. oz. Container, Spray Bottle	32 fl. oz. Container, Spray Bottle

Spray these adhesive primers onto a mounting surface to quickly and smoothly apply signs, labels, and protective films. These primers float adhesive-backed sheets above a surface until you press them down, giving you time to position the sheet and remove any wrinkles. Since the sheet doesn’t stick right away, you can apply large sheets without needing a second pair of hands. These primers also work with non-adhesive films. Even in hot or cold temperatures, your sheet will stay put.

Clean the mounting surface with adhesive primer before applying a film, so no residue is trapped underneath. Use a smoothing tool (sold separately) to squeeze out air bubbles and excess fluid. Drying time depends on application—most decals and films will dry within 90 seconds, but 3D printer sheets should dry for 24 hours before printing.
