<p>You won’t need to soak it in anything, the tea towel method will get it all off in 2-5 mins with no mess, all in one big inverted piece. </p>

<p>Thanks! I ended up doing something like that, but for anyone coming across this in the future, I recommend soaking the bottle in a solution of dish detergent. I looked into how to install and remove some similar glass film products, and a number of sources suggested doing that and I found that it made the adhesive a good deal weaker, which made the process much easier. Sadly I didn't have much luck getting it to come off in large pieces, but a good amount of patience did the trick.…<br></br></p>

<p>Just cut into the film at the neck of the bottle, pull some film away then just rub against the exposed cut in the film with a tea towel or something and it just roll the film all the way down the bottle. This is a far easier way and takes about 2 mins. </p>
<p>Before this I used to make the same cut and lift/stretch the film up until you can grip enough of it with your fingers without tearing it then just peel/roll it all the way off down the bottle. Getting to a point where you can grip enough can be fiddly tho so the tea town method is the best I've found. </p>
