Boot Stripe Removal...

[lathehand]

I'ver done my v with one and it took no time at all.It woun't gouge the gelcoat anymore than a cold razor blade or scraper.A real time saver .Takes longer to clean the left over glue.Got to be carefull it'll burn you good if you slip.

I just finished up 1 side of my V.
The easiest way I've found is to use a heat gun.Just get the decal stripe heated a bit,start the removal by using a thin,flexible putty knofe then keep pulling as you heat the decaling up with the gun.
Too much heat will cause it to melt and tear but it doesn't tale too long to figure out how much heat it takes to release the decaling.
After that i take some decal remover and dob it on with a rag.Then I use an old towel and simply rub off the old adhesive.
Before I began applying the new striping I wiped down the area with alcohol.
