Thanks. Several hours soaking in acetone had no effect on my stickers/labels. However, this gave me the idea to try a similar product, and, despite being mostly acetone, it worked where the plain acetone failed.
Probably since it has the ethylbenzene and xylene in it. Those aromatics are really good at eating up most common plastics and resins.

Xylene is powerful shit.
