Re:
Evo-stick make a glue remover, can't remember the name of it. It really worked on the stubborn residue on my vans graphics. I'd already tried baby oil, wd40, white spirit and 'sticky stuff remover' which normally do the trick but the stuff from Evo-stick that I got from a hardware shop was really good. good luck

Re:
Easy peasy with cellolose thinners! but why not invest in some decorators hand wipes? it removes most things and is great for general cleaning of chainrings, canti's etc.

Was it this http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk ... 0ml-600313 ?
Just looking at the msds of that, that looks like my special stuff bottle. A home made brew of leftover solvents (random mixes cyclohexane, cyclohexene, acetone, IPA, ethanol, ethyl acetate, butanol,...). I wouldn't recommend my mix as you'll not breath for a day afterwards, muhahahahahaha.

Re:
Easiest method I found with my zaskar.... Don't use anything, keep rubbing it off with your thumbs till it comes off. I know it sounds daft but I've tried the other methods and it nothing really helps cut through the residue
Oh and don't sand them off because you'll never get the finish back to how it was when you come to polish it

Re:
Removing stickers from a frame is rather like making love to a beautiful women...first, get the lady of your choice to agree to hold your old frame firmly, providing support but also obeying instructions should it need to moved slightly to increase accessibility. Then ask to provide something hot that blows well, perhaps one of her hair dryers (avoid older ones as they may not generate enough hotness). Make sure what you are holding is powerful enough to do the job and be careful not to wave it in front of her face. Once you see white gluey stuff oozing, peel back firmly. Wipe any access off and thank the lady for her assistance in getting it off.
