I read either baby oil, or rubbing alcohol. Anyone have any experience with this? Obviously looking to avoid fogging or otherwise messing up the crystal. Thanks.

 

Either will work, I've used WD40 as well.

 

Thanks Norm.

 

Get ready to hurl [aka talk on the big white phone]...

Nose grease and/or forehead grease.

Excuse me a moment, my toilet is ringing.

 

You don’t want any solvents. Mineral or veg oil is best.

 

I can swear someone yesterday swore ginger goat pee was the bomb...

 

Do you accept PayPal?

 

Since a solvent is anything that will dissolve another substance, I'm pretty sure he does want some kind of solvent. Not all solvents are very harsh, in fact you drink one every day...water is a very effective solvent...many things dissolve in it.

For stickers that are very stubborn I have used eucalyptus oil with great results, but I admit I've never tried it on an acrylic crystal. It does leave a very nice smell behind though!

I would not worry too much about what you use - just don't go crazy and if something "fogs" I'm sure some polywatch will clean it up without too much trouble. I have wiped down crystals with 99% alcohol without any problems.

Cheers, Al

 

Thanks, Al. Much appreciated.

 

Fly spray is the best for stickers on any surface
Had a mate who was a boat and car detailing guru and put me onto it.

 

I like Goo-Gone for removing adhesive labels and other troublesome gunk. Works like magic. I haven't tried it on a watch crystal but I don't recall having issues using it on plastic.
