Has anyone ever tryed to move a label from one bottle to another? I have a great label on a crappy bottle and since we're not talking about a high dollar item here, I thought about trying to soak off the label and placing it on a good piece of glass. I would hate to ruin the label though.

Thanks

I have, and after soaking for two whole days the label never budged, the glue used wasn't water soluable. I know it works with todays beer bottles because I've removed and pasted many of them to forehead during drunken outings at the local gin mill over the years...[;)]

Thats funny cause I've done the same thing with the new labels. Did it ruin your old label or did it just dry out?

It did absolutely nothing to the label, it looks exactly the same, not to say your's will do the same though....
