How to get the sticky label off a chopping board?

[Keitai]

I scraped it off with a plastic scraper and damp kitchen roll but can't get the stickiness off. If i use white spirit, will that make the board unusable for food afterwards?

It will taint food , tiny amount of lighter fuel will destroy glue.

Get yourself a can of multisolve, its very good for removing silicone sealant as well as lables

i would suggest do no use any solvents
there will be a simple solution like wash in hot soapy water
this is a mainstream [tesco]source so simple solution with normal use cycle should sort
perhaps dish washer??[never used one so dont know]

Or just make use of the none-sticky side, whilst the adhesive comes away eventually, as it is naturally washed after normal usage.

I would suggest 'clean and dust' or multi surface cleaner spray and keep scraping.
- I'm not sure how food safe it would be after washing though.

I'd just take it back and get a refund, crap like this really pees me off, then again I'd have done a peel test in the shop.

Just leave in a sink of hot water for an hour or use a blowtorch

If it doesn't remove easy, then the board isn't fit for purpose

Precisely, same thing you get with Conti Board, why do they do it? Having done a check of all the usual suspects I can say that the only place where stickers peel off Conti board easily is from Selco!

Use a soluble cleaner, like 'Method', and an abrasive scourer to soften up the glue, then carefully scrape a stanley blade along the grain to remove it.

A solvent will shift it, but then a good soapy wash will be needed to remove traces of the solvent. Been there, done that, and I'm still alive !

If its a chopping board I assume its hard wood so why not just get some medium/fine sand paper and sandpaper it off

Before I discovered multsolve which btw evaporates off, used to rub bicarb into it which depending on the type of glue, absorbed the stickyness so it peeled off

Iso Propyl Alchohol will soften the glue, and it will evaporate after you are done.
