Take an ice cube and freeze it. Then take your finger nail and scratch it off gently. Try not to scare the leather.

Use cooking oil and a paper towel, dont drench it but get it to soak into the paper and gently rub from the corners inward.

Goo Gone will hurt the leather, dont use it.

Key is to be patient, do small sections at a time.

You could try peanut butter, it's good for getting bubble gum out of hair!

If it's an ice cube, it IS frozen.

simple get a frezzer bag or some other kind of water proof plastic bag and fill it with very warm water (not boiling else you could scar the leather) then hold it against the paper alowing some of the mostuire on the paper and it then should rub off, i have done it loads of times and it dont leave a trace :)

I love mooskin :D

I travel a lot around the world regrading work purposes so i need a solid and sturdy briefcase where i can put some heavy stuff without damaging the briefcase.

Just use a soft cloth soaked in warm water and rub gently. No need for solvents.

possibly the sticker was removed 4 years ago ... a necromancing spammer posted - I didn't check the date :)

I have now - thread closed
