Finally got my new Canadian license numbers for the Princecraft Yukon. (
kind off....they tell me the numbers and I have to go buy and apply them)
Is a heat gun the best way to remove Tom's Connecticut numbers?

He probably spit on the back of the numbers to stick them on. Proceed
cautiously.

Hair dryer on high or a heat gun on low.

Just heat them up enough to remove them - don't get them hot - just
warm.

How's it working for you?

Be prepared to do a bit of buffing in the area where the CT numbers
were applied. You're likely to see the "ghost" of the CT numbers, and
you'll essentially have to grind away enough of the aged gelcoat
surrounding the part that was protected by the CT numbers to restore
an even appearance.

It's aluminum. Baked enamel paint. The boat was always stored inside
and/or covered.

The paint didn't fade.

Old boat I'd use a sander with heavy grit, just so you would fit in with the
basin crowd.

applied. You're likely to see the "ghost" of the CT numbers, and you'll
essentially have to buff/compound the area surrounding the part that was
protected by the CT numbers to restore/blend an even appearance.

I don't want to fit in with that motley crew on the Bedford Basin..
I'm setting my sights on something higher...like Mahone Bay...or maybe St.
Margaret's Bay. ;-)
(wonder if they'd accept me at the Squadron with this boat?)
