Heat would help as well. A heat gun or even a hair dryer might allow you to
get a razor blade under one corner and start peeling up. Then a little "GOO
GONE" after the sticker's off, and good as new.
The rubber disk Bob mentions is a GREAT way to go if you don't mind spending
the money. (They're pretty cheap though).
