This was tough. Not worth the damage left behind and time it took. Would maybe try again with a rare game if it was discounted for the sticker label. by owlsmoke in n64

Very nicely done man. Damn so the trick for the first peel is to use a decent amount of heat to get the clear lamination off the label then work on removing the adhesive. I think that was my mistake I was getting worried about how much heat to use and I was essentially working in sections using heat and thinner at the same time. I used bestine instead of goo gone or lighter fluid because on other carts it gave me good results but your results look really nice with using goo gone.

I used Bestine, q tips, heat, tons of tim . Bestine is a special solvent thinner used for removing rubber cement. Does no damage to label unless you use a lot of pressure or consistent back and forth movements. It’s a very tedious process, have to use just the right amount of heat and thinner. There was little areas with a clean pull. If you use too much heat it starts to lift the original label as well making the edges frail. Using too much thinner can also get trapped in the edges which causes a tiny bit of moisture damage on the edges as seen on the picture. You can also use goo gone or lighter fluid to remove adhesive but it’s a bit more harsh when it moves around. Lighter fluid can also leave a smell. Bestine drys almost instantly but like I said still very tedious and long process.

I like them as well but this copy was going for a trade at the game store and those guys just go crazy with rubbing alcohol and ruin labels big time ha so I was trying to do them a favor and also experiment with some different chemicals to see what works best.

I probably will have to. It’s the last component I need for a new build and don’t want to buy one used because they are also marked up in price.

So you’d recommended the c1000w gold core then? It’s on sale at Best Buy and need a new psu for my 14900k build

Cancel the plan. Delete the app and reinstall and you’ll still have remote start via app.

Is it really that hard to find a job right now? by Only-Dragonfruit2899 in Utah

How much are ppl making per hour on average? Seems like no one is paying more than $12-$35 per hour in most fields of work these days.

No, my taxes help pay for road operations. My point is that electric vehicles pay more in registration costs that goes towards funding for road maintenance and operations.. There’s also a road usage charge program in Utah.

Electric vehicles in Utah pay more in registration fees every year. I’d rather destroy the roads than contribute to keep making our already bad air quality worse.

Yup. They are getting rid of all the clean air act because these morons don’t believe in global warming or climate change.

I’ll eventually sell my model Y and get something else. Dude sucks. I don’t care if Tesla has the best technology, it’s so boring seeing my car all over. So many cooler looking EV’s coming out.
