Remove sticker from glass
Adisolve will also help to remove sticker from glass as well as remove the sticker glue residue. It will help remove sticker on all glasses including glass jars, glass ornaments, glass mugs, glass windows and glass doors.
Tip – Scoring the label first before spraying Adisolve will allow it to penetrate the adhesive, increasing the chance of success. When scoring the label, be careful not to scratch the glass.
Wait a few minutes for the Adisolve to deactivate the sticker label adhesive before peeling off the label. If the glass sticker is water resistant like a vinyl sticker, use a sharp object to slightly peel off one corner. Spray Adisolve on the adhesive behind the sticker label to deactivate the adhesive for easier removal of the sticker from the glass.
Use Adisolve in a well-ventilated area and wash your hands thoroughly after use.
Remove tape residue from glass
When you remove the tape from the glass, the adhesive residue from the tape usually remains stuck on the glass. This tape residue can be difficult to remove. Adisolve will deactivate the tape residue, making it easier to wipe off the glass.

Adisolve is also safe enough to use on certain clothes to remove sticky residue. If you are using Adisolve on clothing to remove any sticky residue, we recommend testing it on a small, non-visible area first to ensure it does not discolor the fabric of the garment.
To remove label glue residue from clothing, simply spray Adisolve on the residue and wait a few seconds for the label glue residue to deactivate. Once deactivated, use a cloth to remove the glue residue from the sticker.

Using Adisolve to shape the joint
Adisolve is also ideal when used with Adiseal adhesive and sealant. Adisolve can be used to help smooth the sealant joint and also help clean up any excess uncured Adiseal.
When using Adisolve to smooth the joint, spray it lightly on top of the applied sealant. If you are using Adisolve to remove any excess uncured Adiseal, spray some more on the applied Adiseal then use a cloth to wipe off the excess.
Cured Adiseal must be removed mechanically using a sharp tool. If you can’t get behind the object, try using a sharp clay wire to cut it.
Solvent cleaner
The maximum strength of any adhesive or sealant will only be as strong as the weakest surface it is being applied to. If the products are being applied to a dusty surface then it will only be as strong as the dust that is stuck to that surface.
When applying adhesive, sealant or paint to any material, it is vital that you have a clean surface before applying the product. Having a clean surface will result in a much stronger bond or seal which should also last a lot longer. Even when using our record breaking strongest adhesive & sealant, making sure the surfaces are clean will give you the best results.
Degreaser spray
Adisolve is available in 500ml aerosol spray cans. It comes with a handy straw to allow you apply into hard to reach places. Adisolve can be used to degrease many different items safely & effectively.
