Hi guys

I own a Bayliner 2052 which has a 1" or so grey stripe decal running
all around the lower hull.

This has been damaged to one side on the front where it was originally
moored to a bouy which
in turn rubbed this decal.
Now,its really stuck well and i was wondering if anyone had
experienced removing and reinstating this stripe.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

Get a rubber wheel attachment for a drill from an auto body store. It
will wheel the decal stripes off easily. Set the drill at the lowest
speed that removes the striping. Don't stay in one spot too long or you
can burn the gel coat.

Does this actually disintegrate (erase) the stripes, or peel them?
Seems a bit tricky to not harm the gel coat if the former.

I used it (two actually, and the ones I bought were bright orange) It
worked far better than the heat gun. I had no problem with the gel
coat, I kept the drill boverned down to the slowest speed that still
removed the pin stripes. (my stripes were 15 y.o.

Seems to me that a heat gun on low and a little unscented nail polish
remover would be much simpler and just as quick.

I could have made a career out of the heat gun. The erase wheel just
spun it off. It was similar to the plastic erasers used to take ink off
mylar drawings (for those old enough to remember such things :-) )

Remember it well. I had one of the original Bomar Brains - still have
it in fact.

And I still say, the best two PCs EVER were the VIC-20 and Commodore
64.

Those things were amazing.

Yeah, well, you have me beat by a few years. The taught us the basics of
a slide rule in H.S. but they were up to (if I remember right) SR55
ny the time I graduated. I remember my older brother "having" to get a
SR10 when he was attending Penn State. They started to allow them for
tests, and a slide rule just wouldn't cut it anymore. My parents paid
about $120 for it.
