Hope everyone is doing well. I have a question. I have several albums with the glassine interleaving and slots. There are labels I would like to remove. The labels are on the glassine surfaces. They appear to be Avery office type labels. From what I gather the best way to do this is to brush on Goo Gone. From what I can deduce this usually takes several applications. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I am now breaking country decades down into individual years. I will have more questions. Thank you.

Goo Gone will work and in order to keep it off of areas other than the label you will need to apply with a brush of Q-tip... likely several times, before you can lift the labels off
You could try a hair dryer - if you have a damaged page or row, try there first to make sure the heat doesn't cause the glassine rows to lift
OR, get some Avery label's the same size a overlay , labelling as needed.
I suspect you May not remove all traces of the labels
good luck
let us know how you fare!?!

I don't have any experience with Goo Gone but I have used Pure Citrus to remove labels from glassines and it has been quite effective. I just lightly spray it on the label and allow it to penetrate and dissolve the adhesive. The label peels off and then I wipe away the remaining liquid and any adhesive residue.

Goo Gone works. It just requires repetition and patience. Brush on, let soak, lift edges. Repeat till the whole thing lifts off. Thanks to all.
