Boot Stripe Removal...
 

Whats the easiest and fastest way to get this stripe off that wraps around the hull. Its peeled and cracked, I'd like to replace it.

Heat gun, lots of sharp razor blades, and Goo Gone citrus remover. Smear the Goo Gone in sections a few feet at a time. Keep the razor at the proper angle so you don't gauge into the gelcoat, and have patience. It takes a while, but I took off every single stripe on mine and it looks great now.

Disturbed hit it right on the head. I have tried multiple ways to remove the boot stripe on mine. Pressure washing, paint stripper, etc. Fastest way is the razor blade. I have not tried a heat gun yet though. I would get mine free sbout two inches and start pulling while keeping pressure on the stripe where its stuck and that worked good.

If you dont have a heat gun a blow dryer will work too. Just have to hold it a couple seconds longer.

3m makes an eraser wheel that goes on a drill. My buddy does auto and pin stripping for a living and he has a bunch of them. It will remove the stripe and adhesive but not mess up the clearcoat. Same for a boat, it will remove the "sticker" or stripe without messing up gelcoat. You can order one online

We tried the eraser wheel, not much luck... It worked a little but chewed the wheel up fast.

X2 on what everyone else has said. Fastest way is the heat gun/hair dryer. The heat softens the gluebond and allows you to pull the stripe away from the hull. Single edge razor blades help in difficult spots, and the Goo-Gone works as a nice finishing "wash" to make sure that all residue of the glue is gone.

I found that the Eraser wheel doesn't work on any stickers or decals that are very old and cracked. It seems to be designed for decals that still have "stickiness" to them and haven't oxidized to the boat or car or whatever it is you're trying to remove them from. I had to rely mostly on the tried and true razor blade. Hands hurt like hell after I was done but I love the finished product.

The funny thing is on my v I blew them off with a pressure washer and then used a citrus solvent to remove adhesive. The eraser wheels he has are like a light brown color and they kick a$$!!!!

I need a pressure washer like this one... I guess its razor blades and GooGone for me.
