Default pinstripe removal

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 ?


Yep...several times...work in small sections...hold the drter close
to the area you're working on and insert a plastic scraper behind an
edge...slowly push...when you get all the tape off, then use GooGone
to get rid of the residue....
