Yes I was curious to try that particular brand (Un-du) because it is supposed to be non damaging to the sticker, not leave a greasy stain and supposedly it also allows you to reuse the removed sticker... more when I'll receive the stuff  ;)
Can you clean a sticker of sticker-rot?
I have this Qbert coming in:

The stickers on these ones are often having freckles underneath.

I have received "the product" (I sound like Mr White in Breaking Bad) and will dispatch it next week to the people who ordered it from me.
I haven't tested it myself yet.

Skeletor is just on the picture so you get an idea of the size of the bottle, of course I don't play with these kind of toys anymore,
I'm a grown up now.
Now enough derailing for Andre's Q*bert thread with that Un-Du thing...

I can't believe it:

I just won a Q*bert PCB on e-bay and it will cost me about 90 euro incl. shipping from the US !!!!!!

OK, it's untested,it maybe defective and I need more boards but hey, this is step 1 ;)

Mehhh, I just cheated on Berzerk, swapping out boards, anybody can do that :)

But I do have some new tools to fight wounded PCBs ;) So maybe I can even fix some :)

Unfortunately... no.  The "freckles" you see are the adhesive breaking down due the plastic on the Q*Bert's case.. it has a texture to it, so the sticker never made a good bond.. and as the air got in over the years the glue broke down and molded from behind.  All of them are like this.. So is mine..   :'(
