The Crack Like Addiction of Buying Pc-Engine/Turbo Games

[Sinistron]

Hole-e Sheet on that peanut butter trick- I have a few games (like the craptastic Turrican) that are sticky as all get out and I have to loudly peel the carts out of the binder sheets-
I'm gonna give this peanut butter thing-a-ma-bob a day in court...

[Michael Helgeson]

Haha, fantastic stuff.  And just to think the next big sale is coming soon...... 

Watching and waiting...

One more thing-- sticker removal. I can't stand price tags and other nonsense on my games.

You and me both.

peanut butter is crazy, dude.  I clean up record covers all the time -  I use lighter fluid to take off marker / sticky residue / stains  or WD-40 to take off stickers.  Use as little fluid as possible -  use a Q Tip.   Practice for a little bit on some paperback books or something. I'm not too anal about the condition of most of my games (assuming I didn't pay an arse-load for it online, and I never do) personally.  I mean, a beat up CD really sucks but otherwise..

[Necromancer]

Anyone else do this?

Oh yeah, though I'm not quite as thorough as you - I don't file the contacts unless they're really corroded.  Thanks for the peanut butter trick, but I think that I'll stay with the 3M adhesive remover stuff.

[Sinistron]

The peanut butter is definitely some Macguyver shit.  I'll be trying that one.  There's always PB & J in mi casa.

That's the whole point. I'm sure other "professional" removers work fine too, but why make an extra trip to the store when you can kill two birds with one stone?

I'm sure the professional stuff is just some kind of peanut oil or similar substance in a jar, anyway.

Close - mine smells like oranges.  I'll keep using it 'til it's gone, but since I use it sparingly, it's gonna be a while.

I'm a big fan of Goo Gone for removing stickers and such from games.  I've been using it for years, and it's not that expensive.  Plus it leaves a lemony scent!  I don't think I'd spread and PB on my PCE games though.  But to each their own.   

[Sinistron]

Most of the games are already buttery though- a little more won't hurt.

Some of us chemists just bring home some hexanes and that sticker shit is gone....

It's not like it leaves a residue or anything. I challenge anyone to point out what games in my collection have had the "peanut butter" treatment. Not gonna happen!

You can't fool me..... you huff 'em 'til you no longer care about the sticker goo.

A squirrel could figure it out.

lol. OK, I entered this conversation late.  I'm going to have to go back to the last page.
