Barret.... not a hair dryer but a dedicated heat gun is required. Go slow
and do not melt the tape. Use a razor blade type scraper to assist in
removal. Take your time. Do not under any circumstances try abrasive or
grinding compounds to remove a pin stripe.... you will damage the gel coat.

Have a flaking decayed red (plastic of some sort) stick on stripe around
the whole boat just under the gunwale. I read ads for "Molding Adhesive
and
Stripe Removal Disc" kits; circular disks (plastic of some sort) that
attach to hand drills and scour off car decals. I would assume that if
these things don't hurt car paint they won't bother jell coat (?)

I've also heard of using a hair dryer - my girlfriend has graciously
volunteered hers..anyone with experince in this ?
