Does anyone know how to remove old vinyl stripping from the hull of a boat without resorting to a belt sander.

Re: Vinyl Stripping

Go to a automotive store and ask for a 3M stripe eraser. No sweat and no need for the belt sander.<br /><br />You could also try a hair dryer and a plastic scraper.

If the hair dryer doesn't work, Harbor Freight tools has a heat gun for $15 that kicks out some serious heat. Use that with a windsheild ice scraper from Wally World.

A hair dryer worked fine for me. just make sure it is one that produces enought heat, or you'll be there for a long, long time.
