Has anybody got a lastest greatest Decal remover ?
Whats the best thing to get them off. I'm just removing whats left of the white Nautique small lettering that goes on each side of the rear of the boat and the small decals under that . ------------- pmccook1 Current boat:1993 Ski Nautique " Purple " Have owned : 76' ski nautique, 93' Sport Nautique, 83 Stars and stripes, 47' Chris Craft Continental |

Ive been told that there is a decal remover bit that you can put on a drill that works pretty well. Supposedly available at auto parts stores. I havent gotten one yet, but its on my list!
For the residue, Ive found both Goof Off and Goo Gone to work very well. ------------- |

Adhesive remover from home depot works really well. It hasn't damaged my gelcoat, but then again mine wasn't glossy to begin with. Harbor freight also has a tool that looks like a soldering iron that has a razor blade at the end. It heats up and does a nice job, not as good as the chemical stuff though. ------------- www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5120&sort=&pagenum=1 - 1961 CC Custom American Skier |

Thats what I usually use is the chem remover or a heat gun. I was just wondering if there was a latest greatest thing. ------------- pmccook1 Current boat:1993 Ski Nautique " Purple " Have owned : 76' ski nautique, 93' Sport Nautique, 83 Stars and stripes, 47' Chris Craft Continental |

Seems like my litte heat gun is the king. Heat it just a little and peel it off, glue stays with the decal. got the old one's off this morning and put the new one's on. ------------- pmccook1 Current boat:1993 Ski Nautique " Purple " Have owned : 76' ski nautique, 93' Sport Nautique, 83 Stars and stripes, 47' Chris Craft Continental |

| Go to the auto parts store and ask for a decal eraser.......it's a round rubber wheel that you put on a drill.......works great and won't harm paint or gel coat....should cost about 8-10 dollars. |

NAPA has a great one. It's a rubber disk that works very well. ------------- Play hard, life's not a trial run. '85 BFN '90 BFN White Lake, Michigan |

A hair dryer and goof off seems to work for me too.
