I purchased some new Haeger vases and when I got them home discovered the glue was so thick on the price tag I could not remove it with dish soap. Mayonnaise worked for me. I knew a few remedies like nail polish remover but of course did not want to damage the glaze with something so strong. I put the mayo on it then I used a toothbrush to work it into the glue. Let it sit for around 45 minutes. Go back to it, clean off with a dish sponge, one didn't come off completely so I did it again. Now it is almost perfect, might need another treatment if my son cannot rub it out.
My goal is to share a little glass history, fun facts, about beautiful glass and pottery with all generations of the world. To promote the appreciation and use of beautiful glassware in our homes and for display.
