Re: New, Old...boat help removing old stickers...
yep, not all adhesives and stickers are made the same. it's a trial and error sort of deal to see what works best.<br /><br />adhesive removers (wd-40, goop, whatever they sell at your auto-parts store)<br /><br />heat (heat gun works a little better than hair dryer)<br /><br />scrapers (plastic scrapers need to be strong, nickel coins work good but kill your fingers, razor blade if you have to)<br /><br />spray the stickers soaking them, heat 'em up and re-apply remover as it gets dry, get 'em peeling. it helps to heat the sticker as you pull. a stainless steel pot scrubber(kinda like steel wool) with the adhesive remover works great to get the left-over adhesive off.<br /><br />you'll want to wax if you aren't putting new stickers back on.
