Default Re: JUST PICKED IT UP...89 DUAL CONSOLE

Southern...

Great deal! WOW. - will you find (steal) boats for me please! - what line did you use on the seller?

Like Reel says use a hair dryer, or heat gun to remove stripes.

DO NOT USE A SCRAPER OR RAZORE BLADE - IT IWILL GOUGE THE FIREGLASS !!!

Heat the stripe - use your fingernail to get it started, and then heat it a little - and pull. If the stripe breaks don't worry - start again.
Once you get the stripe off (or most of it) get a clean rag, and acetone - rub off any risidual glue left on the fiberglass. - Turn the rag frequently, and keep it moist - but not real wet with acetone. You may have to rub hard, but the acetone will remove the glue. THEN WASH THE AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER. After that (you may want to ) compound the area were the sripe was...

It really isn't a lot of work - and the result is that you'll never know were the stripe was!
