how to remove hull stickers/numbers

[rbigg]

I need to take the registration #s and decals off my hull for painting. I<br />used to get those off by using a heat gun and pulling. Worked reasonably<br />well.<br /><br />But, it leaves stickum. How do I get the stickum off with the least outlay<br />of cash? Any cheap, readily available chemicals that are solvents for<br />adhesive remnants?

There are plenty of non toxic solvents on the market. Forgot the names but one is orange scented.<br />Any hardware store should carry it.

WD-40 usually works. Also gasoline and it won't hurt the finish. Just wash and wax well afterward

i use a solution that is called "de-solve-it" It is a citrus based cleaner that will remove anything sticky. It is the best I have found, got it at home depot.

Acetone also works well.

I just got done with that fun-fest. Acetone took the goo right off. Wear rubber gloves, that stuff is harsh on the skin.
