Wellcraft decals
Thought those price stickers stores put on items were hard to remove. Boy, was I wrong. The wellcraft decals have been on the boat for 29 years and never budged. Is there a simple way to remove them? Have been using a razor blade scraper. A slow process, plus it leaves all the glue on the hull.
Next question, where can I get new decals? Don't tell me that I was suppose to keep the old ones. |
Re: Wellcraft decals
You can use a blow drier to warm them up and a plastic putty knife to scrape them - look on ebay for the decals
|
Re: Wellcraft decals
Use goo-off and a razor. Works great.
|
Re: Wellcraft decals
Look under links and then decals. I have not yet bought any, hope the site is good. Single edge rasor and laquer thinner for removal.

Re: Wellcraft decals
look on ebay under "wellcraft" i got some from a seller named "taylorint" and they are pretty nice ;)
|
Re: Wellcraft decals
As has been siad, a hair dryer or a heat gun, but if you use a heat gun becareful not to over heat!!
After the sticker is off use lacqer thiner or goo gone. |
Re: Wellcraft decals
Take a chainsaw and cut closely around stubborn decal...leaves no adhesive residue...repair fiberglass and gelcoat, then reapply decal from E-Bay...just
KIDDIN ;D ... |

Re: Wellcraft decals
Hey, that's not a bad idea.
I could put my anchor through the hole left from removing the stickers with a chainsaw. ;) ;) ;D |

Re: Wellcraft decals
I removed the decals from my V21 two years ago (there is a picture in my gallery - before and after). A hair drier and razor made it realy easy - though it does take some time.

Re: Wellcraft decals
allthe sign painter and vynil guys around here use oven cleaner or gasket remover, just spray on, wait till the sticker bubbles, scrap off with a palstic putty knife, and wash off, just don't let it dry out on you

Re: Wellcraft decals
its not that big of a deal, after you spray the decal, adn scrape it off, just hose it down and scrub it with a brush, i let some dry on my old boat, it didn't harm teh gel, just had a bear of a time getting the goo off

Reel, it is a different country since he took over.
I am always looking over my shoulder and sleeping with one eye open, while I'm there. Empowering poor, UN-educated people, is not always a good thing. |

Re: Wellcraft decals
Notice, they did not give any idea of price.
My guesstimate from getting prototype parts made, $75 - 100. I have some other tooling connections, if I can't get it made down there. Reel, I think that is next, he is following the Castro template. |
