Use spray furniture polish, any kind and it dusts your shells.  It's
gets label glue off of lucite also with no damage, like lucite stands
that are priced.

Subject: [CONCH-L] Removing old label gum


I know this has probably been asked but I will do so again:
I have an old shell that at some point had a label on it which was
removed now there is a sticky residue (that collects dust & looks
awful).  What is the best way to remove it?

Thanks Ellen
