Try heating them with a hair dryer (not a heat gun). Hold
the dryer at least 6 inches from the surface. That should
soften the glue.

I have had pretty good success getting the glue residue off
using WD40. There is also something on the market for glue
removal. I think it's called something like "Goo Gone". If
you use it try it first on an unexposed area of fiberglass.

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




I've had pretty good luck with a dull razor blade scraper tool.
Get the "peel" started with the blade, then they should pull off by
hand. Help break the adhesive by following the peel with your
blade. Then, "goo gone" to remove any residual adhesive.

If the stickers are old and too hard to remove with heat, you might try
a pressure washer. Once the water finds a loose edge it will lift the
sticker off with no damage to the underlying surface.

Spend money on the wonder solvents, but good old lighter fluid is cheap,
works as good or better than the others, and because you won't need much for
sticker removal, there's always enough left to douse someone's
