Default stripe removal

I've taken all but the Wellcraft sticker off mine. Brake cleaner works great. It evaporates really fast, so you have to work in small areas at a time, but it doesn't hurt the gel coat, and the stickers can be scrapped off with a razor blade or plastic putty knife. The razor blade helps get more of the sticky stuff faster. You can look a t my pics and see that it really didn't leave too bad-a-streaks on the boat from the old stickers.

I stripe cars, boats, and anything else that needed striping. We used a heat gun heating a small area and pulling it off with one hand while keeping it heated with the other. The stripe is old so it maybe be brittle and one of the other methods may work better.

Looking good there stink. I've been waiting for the weather to break here so I can get mine shined up again too. I'm gonna re-do my boot strip this year too I think. I probably won't be using it much with gas costing so much and a baby on the way, so I'll take some time and do some work on the ole' girl.
