Sticky Box Cure?

[The Wordsmith]

Hello. If you are reading this I hope you can help me. Do you know any way that you can stop your box being sticky once you've opened it?
When you first open a bicycle deck (any type) you always have to take the stupid labelly seal thingy which leaves an unpleasant and unsightly sticky patch on your box. Do you know any way of getting rid of it, e.g. take atleast 5 minutes to take the label off, or dab it with nail varish remover and toilet rolls etc.
I have just bought a brand new deck of Bicycle shadow Masters and am sick of getting a hairy box.
Please...
Someone...

instead of pulling it off. just ues a razor blade and cut it off. folow the box line its that easy

I used to take the seal off, but then I found out the same thing you did. Just leave it on, it looks more official than taking it off and leaving an unsightly whitish-gray mark on the box. Cut straight through it, and it shouldn't hurt.

Once you pull the seal off, you can dab the sticky parts with the sticky side of the seal to clean the box off. It's always worked for me.

Hope this helps!

on xbz vol. 1(xtreme beginners) you can learn how to open the box correctly. with nothing but hands. if you saw a video preview for Masters deck featuring W:H you can see the right way or if not the right way, the way that prevents stickiness you hate.

use masking tape to get the stick to stick onto it then pull the masking tape off

I wouldn't use "GOO GOO GONE", because it leaves the oiliness behind and also work on any sticky substances.

I use either the seal itself or a bit of tape to remove the sticky stuff.

I've said this before, but I'll post a picture this time so I'm completely clear.

This is the best way for your seal to look. Period. No sticky stuff, it looks incredibly professional, and it takes less time that just pealing it off.

Hope this helps you guys out. It's very convenient, neat, and quick.

This is done by cutting the seal horizontally, then vertically straight down the spade. You then fold both flaps over the box so it forms a V. I can post pictures if that was confusing at all.

Well I think the posts of ThrallMind and TheMagicalSock have been the most useful. Thanks guys for the quick responses. I'll have to try them both, but I think TheMagicalSock's looks more reliable.
