Vinyl boat numbers

[Peahead]

I need to remove the vinyl boat numbers off a fibreglass hull. Without heat I can't get them off. Does a hair dryer do the trick ok or will the numbers still break up into tiny pieces when trying to peel them.

thx

use a heat gun, i bought one from crappy tire for $19.95
blowdryer is not usually hot enough.

Had an email today - Lee Valley has a variable temp heat gun on for 20.00, would order one myself but can' think of a use.
Here's a link.

But the cheap gel coat would come off with it

Diesel or laquer thinner will make 'em come right off.

You dont need much heat as its a finesse thing just the right amout as to not melt it and to cold to make it brittle. After its off use a good solvent to get rid of the left over glue then get a ggod cut wax, then clean it up followed by a second coat of finishing wax and buff.

good luck wolf
