[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 475529, member: 7379"] Well, I've never used lighter fluid to remove stickers, but the reply Aussiejames shared related to naphtha and related products, of which lighter fluid is one, and the use of which risks long term card damage; something I was previously unaware of. Surgical spirit is not a naphtha / petroleum derivative, and instead is basically an alcohol. I can't say what the long-term effects of surgical spirit on a card are, since it's only been a year or two since I first used it (and the cards still look fine), but since we now know lighter fluid and products like Goo Gone (which contains petroleum derivatives) definitely can cause harm, I would certainly favour surgical spirit. It would be very interesting however to learn what the master bookbinder aussiejames was talking to thought of the effects of surgical spirit on paper and card. [/QUOTE]
