Yes I agree with you, as you say sticky label (or what nail varnish remover was invented for) is great. Would go further and say that any thing that requires a clean surface for bonding needs a clean surface. Would say over cautious, just less to go wrong and have to do again. Or break something so have buy it.

For removing a sticky label (or nail varnish) there might not be much difference with some brands - personally I wouldn't risk it for something I want to repair rather than replace.
For any specific brand, there should be a data sheet with ingredients, e.g.

or even a safety data sheet such as

Given that solvent welding usually requires clean surfaces and no contamination, I'd check before introducing something like hydrogenated castor oil to a repair. There will be some nail varnish removers that will work as planned, and I'm probably being over cautious...
