awesome! you should be able to get that decal off...rubbing alcohol and a razor blade and patience I am thinking.

great shelf!

That could potentially scratch the glass surface. I'm a sign maker, and I say get you an old credit card (or one of those thin ones they send you in the mail to entice you to sign up) and get some Goo Gone. The Goo Gone is citrus based and when poured on to the decal, let it sit so that it draws up the vinyl. Lightly scrape the edges to get it off, should take about an hour or so to do. Wipe clean with Windex and it will be good as new.

I ended up soaking it in Ronsonol lighter fluid for about 10 mins and hit it with the blade from a box cutter and once it was off used more lighter fluid to get the sticker residue and no one was the wiser. The real issue is removing the water stains peppered on the graphics without damaging the art. If I can figure that out I have a few menus I’m hopping to clean up.
