C A R E F U L L Y lift the numbers off with the assistance of a blow
dryer and a razor blade.
Then use Vegetable oil, laquer thinner or acetone to get the
@#$$$%%^&^$%$# glue off.
Always worked for me
Make sure you getall the old wax , etc off before putting on the new
no's or else they will have a tendency to fall off

| 832.3 | I wouldn't trust a razor-blade.. | TOTH::WHYNOT | Malibu Skier | Fri May 03 1991 12:19 | 5 |
| Blow dryer and fingernail (or plastic scraper)
Pine sol or Les-toil works pretty good on the sticky residue.

| 832.4 | How about a wood boat? | SALEM::NORCROSS_W | | Mon May 06 1991 08:22 | 2 |
| How about taking vinyl letters off of a varnished wood boat? Same way?
Thanks, Wayne

| 832.5 | Should work on a wooden boat too... | NRADM::WILSON | On the boat again... | Tue May 07 1991 13:10 | 12 |
| re: .4
A hair dryer should work to soften up the letters on a wooden boat
too Wayne. I'd just take extra care not to melt or bubble the paint
with the heat, and use a *very* mild solvent to remove any remaining
glue. You may even want to try an automotive cleaner/wax to remove
the glue.
Or, you could use 80 grit paper and remove *everything* like I did
on the wooden boat I'm restoring! 8^)

| 832.6 | I'll give the hairdryer a try. | SALEM::NORCROSS_W | | Wed May 08 1991 10:14 | 6 |
| Rick, removing ALL the finish is my project for the winter after next.
(Next winter is for replacing the vinyl decking, something I was going
to do this past winter before the tranny project became a priority.)
I also have a few hull plank sections that I will be replacing.
Thanks for the advise.

| 832.7 | TRY "202" | SALEM::HASSON | | Thu May 16 1991 12:38 | 3 |
| I'd try either acetone or Interlux 202 solvent. 202 is used as a
mold-release-wax solvent that seems to work well on just about
anything.
