The pin said to put your wine bottles in the oven after you use it. Well I wasn't planning on cooking so I went ahead and turned on the oven. The pin said you should let the bottles sit in there for 10 minutes. It did not state what temperature the oven should be set to. At first I set the oven at 200 degrees.... that did nothing after 10 minutes. So I set the temperature at 300 degrees and here are my results! (Don't get too excited)
Out of 7 wine bottles. only 2 of them came out label free. The two bottles that had easy to remove labels were cheap paper labels.These 4 wine bottles you see lined up together all had plastic coated paper labels. They were the hardest to remove!!!
The semi-removed bottle only had a plastic label. It was still pretty annoying to work with... I had to scrub to get the excess glue off.
Moral of the story?? If planning on crafting with wine bottles, cheaper wine is better! Maybe not for taste but sometimes you gotta take one for the team! It'll be worth it in the end!
Not to worry follow D.I.Y.ers, I have a solution at the bottom. If you have paper only labels go ahead and try the oven technique BUT for other labels do the following solution!
THE SOLUTION:
What did I ended up doing to solve my wine bottle battle? I filled my kitchen sink up with warm water, added a cap full of Downy Fabric Softener and scrubbed. It took about 30 minutes to soak. And 30 to 60 seconds of scrubbing power per bottle. They turned out great.
Later this year if you're lucky I will reveal what I am going to do with these bottles ;) Aren't you excited!?
