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.

Based on your political posts, I think you're using that thinner for
recreational purposes, John. :-)

John will insist it's for medicinal purposes only!

Can you prove that ridiculous, unfounded, totally wild allegation? If
you can't you are really ... (fill in your choice of derogatory
names)!

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