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?


I keep some paint thinner in a spray bottle just for jobs like that.

That must be why you bob and weave around the boatyard...using that
thinner as either an inhaler or just drinking it...
