Clean it over with vinegar at a guess, strips and cleans it all at once.

i actually found it easier without spraying the frame.

The water droplets seemed to stop the sticker adhering.

I also found I spent too much time moving it around because i could, rather than getting it in the right place to start with.

a tiny bit of detergent eliminates the droplets, i also like to warm the frame in front of the fire first, i dont know why, i just do :D
