Does this stuff work on boxes? I've heard of and wanted to try Un-Du, but I've not seen it for sale here.

Id recommend this stuff over goo gone ten fold. Its not oil based.

If I clean anything I always none-latex gloves that my wife brings for free from work, along with bunch of tools useful to fix/clean stuff and alc. wipes. (she is a dental assistant)

Those using gloves, how do you manage with peeli sticky labels while wearing the gloves? In my experiences, the stickers cling on to the latex gloves and end up making the gloves unusable.

For removing adhesives (as well as paint and ink), I recommend ScraPerfect's Best Cleaner Ever. It IS a safe for skin solvent and has no irritants or abrasives, and yet it is really effective. Crazy stuff. http://www.ScraPerfect.com...

PS Even Orange Oil can be irritating, and what is used in cleaners is typically not just juice from oranges. But I love that spray for the air

Putting aside whatever issues might be arising from the goo gone, your nails are basically made of protein. I don't know what your diet is like, but if you have a crappy diet you will have weak nails. If you eat right your nails will be 10x as strong as before.

I don't typically use Goo Gone, but when I do, I end up with my hands soaked in it. With that being said, the only time that I've ended up with "ripply" nails has been when I've managed to do some sort of damage to my nail bed, be it at (or, oh God, under) the cuticle, through the nail itself (about as fun as getting something under the cuticle) or just mashing the crap out of it. I wouldn't worry about Goo Gone being the source of what's damaged/damaging your nail, as if you were truly getting poisoned by it at any level, you ought to be showing other signs in the same area (a rash would be an obvious choice, skin drying out and flaking off, blisters, etc.). If you're not and it's just the nail that you're having trouble with, chances are you just wanged it real good on something and didn't think much of it and your nail bed took it deeper to heart.

Need Stadium Events + Panesian titles, 6-in-1's, Menace Beach, Moon Ranger & Secret Scout to complete my licensed/unlicensed sets.

If you've got any of the above for sale, hit me up!

I stopped using goo gone when I switched to bestine. Bestine doesn't leave the oily shiny residue behind like goo gone. It has a slight learning curve because it evaporates so fast that you have to use a lot. Be warned, if it touches the edge of a label at all said label will be instantly fucked.
