Default letter removal from hull

"RB" wrote in message

I need to take the registration #s and decals off my hull for painting. I
used to get those off by using a heat gun and pulling. Worked reasonably
well.

But, it leaves stickum. How do I get the stickum off with the least

outlay
of cash? Any cheap, readily available chemicals that are solvents for
adhesive remnants?


Be sure to test my recommendations on a hidden part of your hull to make
sure they don't damage the finish. I've removed adhesive with alcohol,
mineral spirits, naptha (lighter fluid) and "Goof Off". I generally use
alcohol or mineral spirits because I have it on hand.
