        I can't let this pass... Most stickers use a contact cement that 
        is related to rubber cement... Rubber cement thinner is THE BEST 
        SOLVENT for removing contact cemented stickers... even old ones.
        It won't hurt plexi either!
 
        For water set decals I would try lacquer thinner (but test it on an
        out of the way spot on the plastic).
