Title: Scoop Refurb
Post by: Grubby on April 15, 2019, 07:04:20 PM: Picked up an older GN Scoop from gumtree as mentioned on the eBay/bargains thread and gave it a refurb yesterday. Used the old labels for this one.

Post by: Grubby on April 16, 2019, 09:45:24 AM: They came off pretty easily so could use them again.

Great idea, did you just use a small amount of heat to peel them off? I always find that I stretch the stickers when I remove them, this may be my lack of patience though....
