For many years we have used a product called "Carpel-O-Peel" to remove the labels from used videocassette cases with good results. I'll try to find a source for it. The active ingredient is listed as "Mineral Spirits." We use the same removal techniques John relates. If you use a brush, please remember to wear appropriate eye protection.
