Please do NOT use benzene to remove sticker adhesive.
Alcohol will do a fine job.

Check out the material data safety sheet on benzene:
http://www.hess.com/about/msds/Benzene_0166_clr.pdf

One particularly cheery excerpt:
"DANGER! FLAMMABLE - BLOOD TOXIN AND CARCINOGEN - ABSORBED
THROUGH THE SKIN - CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM - HARMFUL OR
FATAL IF SWALLOWED - ASPIRATION HAZARD"

It is heavier than air and can accumulate in low areas and
vapors can explode from static electricity.

No reasonable person should have this stuff at home when there
are cheaper safer products that work.

Take care of yourselves,
Chris
