Decals
Hi all. I've followed this group for a couple years but never had a reason
to post before. I have a simple problem, the decals on my boat (Sea Ray) are starting to come off. How do you get them stuck back down? Thanks. Seedy. |

I'd look at removing them... 3M makes a wheel specifically for the task and..... then, replace them..... (or not) depending on the budget and available energy.... I would use two faced glue. I know Gene does. Thomas Rangier |

How do you get them stuck back down? If they are decals, then you can get new ones from Sea Ray. Use a heat gun, remove the old ones and replace them - there is no way to properly reglue the decal. If it's a placard type deal, then epoxy will do you fine. |

Next time buy a boat without fancy decals. They have no place on a real boat, anyway. Yeah - a man's boat ain't got no pansy nancy boy candy ass decals anyway. Um... Wait a minute... Never mind. |

Sort of like the lack of decals on the side of your modest 25 foot (you claim it to be a 32 footer) fishing boat Krause? "Yo Whore"? How absolutely hysterical. |
Thanks for the help. I'm curious though, if you can take them off with a
heat gun can't you put them back on with one? Seedy. "Shortwave Sportfishing" wrote in message ... On Wed, 22 Jun 2005 00:53:18 GMT, "Seedy" wrote: Hi all.

The heat will make the glue release. It won't make the glue adhere again.
Most just take them off and leave them off. If you want you can order new ones from SeaRay and leave them in a safe place until you get ready to sell the boat. Then install to make the boat look like it has been took care of. -- Tony my boats and cars at http://t.thomas.home.mchsi.com - "Seedy" wrote in message news:NT3ue.76410$x96.45898@attbi_s72...

The heat "releases" the decal "glue." The glue will not reset with application of heat. Do you really need the decals on your boat? I've never seen a set of decals on a boat that improved its looks. Well, if your decals read "I am an @sshole" it would improve the looks and be honest at the same time. Thomas Rangier |
I've heard of using clear nail polish. I tried it the other day, but the
decal I was trying to reseal was too stiff and kept popping up; I'm going to try again, using duct tape to hold it down until the polish dries. (I had duct tape in the boat, but was ready to leave when I tried this, and was too lazy to undo the cover and climb back into the boat again - it was on a trailer in a lot.)

As Tony said, you can't put them back on with a heat gun - the glue isn't heat activated. It's not a hard project to do - I had to replace the decals on my Ranger last year (the Ranger logo on the gunwales) and light heat (from a heat gun - a hair dryer won't do it), remove, clean up with a little acetone (nail polish remover) and replace - took all of 30 minutes start to finish. |

I think you are getting mentally unstable again. You are starting the childish name calling, lies, and general insults, plus now you are reading one thing, and thinking another..... |
