How to remove labels from glass jars without goo gone!

So I had a video I watched on this and I cannot get it to upload so your going to get my written explanation instead....

First try to remove the label by scoring (taking a serrated butter knife and putting cuts on the label) then soaking overnight in hot soapy water.
Most of the label should just peel off the next day....but if it there is still some of that real nasty glue left...

Use a hair dryer on it for 30-60 seconds with a fairly close blow...DON'T BURN YOURSEF THOUGH!!!! This should allow the remaining glue to peel or wipe off but if it doesn't then we.....

USE PEANUT BUTTER! Apply a small amount over the glue and wipe off with an abrasive sponge or steel wool pad. Rinse away and all should be gone!
