Default pinstripe removal

Got it off with a friend's heat gun ( hair dryer wasn't hot enough ) and a
plastic scraper (which almost melted several times) ; many thanks for the
ideas -

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 ?
