Remove adhesive from the Core One front acrylic panel
Hello dear community,
I recently bought a used Core One.
The previous owner had stuck a sticker on the front panel.
I tried heating the sticker with a hair dryer and removing it, but unfortunately it left a lot of adhesive residue behind.
Does anyone have an idea how I can remove the adhesive?
I’ve read that isopropanol or acetone can damage the acrylic. I also tried using oil, but that didn’t work either.

I actually just found a solution to the problem. I used isopropanol and a very soft cloth, but I immediately neutralized the isopropanol with water each time. If you’re a bit careful, you can remove the adhesive residue from the panel this way.

Just for future reference: The door material is polycarbonate, not acrylic. Doesn't make a huge difference regarding solvent compatibility, but it implies other pros and cons. Polycarbonate is less breakable, withstands higher temperatures, but is more easily scratched and less transparent than acrylic.

Either material should withstand isopropanol without problems; no need to rinse with water immediately.
