Default stickon weights

How do you go about getting the stick-on weights off a set of magnesiums?

Wow, my neighbor came over who had a problem with stick-on weights and his solution was.......dental floss???? :crazy:
Well, dental floss it was. Works like fishing line, just pull it through and they're off :cool:

Dental floss?? That's a great Idea. Thanks.

To remove mine, I heated up the weights with a hair dryer till they were quite warm and then just peeled them off. I've read where, if you're not careful, you can peel the paint off.

Dental floss?? I like it.
