Rub repeatedly with vegetable oil after you've peeled off what you can by
hand. There's also a product called Goo-Gone or something like that,
available in grocery stores. Seems to be mostly citrus oil. Works nicely,
washes off easily with soap & water when you're done. The problem with any
of these is that the goo needs to be soaked for a while, so you may need to
either hold it against the hull with a paper towel soaked in whatever you
use, or roll the boat onto its side. I'd try "A" first. :-)

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?
