Hey all,

I just bought a boat, and it was out of state, so I need to put new
stickers on it... What's a good method of removing the old ones without
scratching the hull?

Thanks,

Doug


Goo-Gone - found in supermarkets & hardware stores. It's basically citrus
oil. Regular vegetable oil sometimes works on stickers, too. Since the
surface is vertical, you need a way to keep the oil over the sticker for a
while, instead of dripping away. Turning the boat on its side is probably
too much effort. So, use several pieces of masking tape to hold a piece of
cleaner-soaked gauze, sponge or paper towel over the sticker. Scrape off
residue carefully with the edge of a credit card.
