Removing Wrapper Glue from Tin Cans?

I am going to be using tin cans from veggies and such for some crafts, and I can't seem to get the glue from the wrappers off, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to use that is very inexpensive to buy?

We use WD40 for this all the time. It works great if you spray it on (outside of course) and let it sit for a short while. Sometimes it may require a second application

Scrubbing is good for glass but not for tin cans as this can scratch it

I just scrape it off with a knife.

Try sticking the cans in the freezer. The labels and glue should just pop right off.

Goo Gone works good too.

You can also try putting them in the Dish washer. The heat from the dish washer makes the glue really easy to get off.

Just run them under hot water as you pull gently, it comes right off!

Use a mixture of cooking oil and baking soda as an alternative to Goo Gone.

Try using wd 40 (spray outdoors) or try asatone

I've tried different methods but I just found one that works really well. Use a heat gun (or hairdryer) to soften the glue and then spray with a citrus based sticky spot remover ( I'm in Australia and used an Australian made product called De-Solv-it).

The glue wiped off easily with a cloth.

I tried acetone, rubbing alcohol, goo gone and goof off but the only thing that actually worked was P.B Blaster...a penetrating lubricant like WD-40. It softened both hardened glue and still gooey glue so I could wipe it off with a paper towel.

I have bought tart tins with the labels stuck on and I cant get them off, it seems they are glued on I have tried soaking, scrubbing, nail varnish remover, mentholated spirits but still it is there although a lot has gone. I have not tried turps or eucolyptus oil. P,ease help

I have used Goo Be Gone successfully; here is the method I tried and all the adhesive came off with a wipe of a paper towel:

1) Lay cans adhesive side up in a card board box

2) Spray Goo Be Gone on the can where the adhesive is
3) Layer with paper towels
4) Spray paper towels with Goo Be Gone
5) Let sit for 10+ minutes
6) Wipe off adhesive with clean paper towels

Got these instructions online from another site and it worked well.

Do you have to get the glue off if you are baking?
