Remove wax from laminated posters

sammy zone 7 Tulsa

I have to start setting up my classroom again, and wonder if any of you are handy with removing wax. I put my laminated posters through a wax machine, then put them on the cement block in the classroom, and roll them with a rolling pin. When I take them down each year, I do my best to put wax against wax, but always end up with wax on the laminated part of the poster.

Do any of you know of a product that will easily remove the wax, and not hurt the poster? Each year I try to scrape it off with a butter knife, but still there is some residue. Fantastic is good at taking pen marks off of desks, but I don't think it does the wax. I am thinking about trying nail polish remover.

I am going to post this on the Home Improvement Forum, but thought there may be more expertise here.

Thanks

Sammy
