Sellotape maybe?

Lighter fuel sometimes works.

Bridkid,

You could probably just buy a mint one on eBay. They are quite common in all honesty. Not as satisfying maybe, but less work!

Hi Brid, Sometimes the paste/gum used on old tins has affected the surface below. I usually try painting on tepid water with a soft paint brush to soak into the paper. Then carefully remove the paper, sometimes the gum comes with. Sometimes its wrecked the print underneath. Give it a try it might be worthwhile! Jez
