removing registration numbers
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? |

Just heat them up enough to remove them - don't get them hot - just warm. How's it working for you? |

Old boat I'd use a sander with heavy grit, just so you would fit in with the
basin crowd. Short Wave Sportfishing wrote: On Tue, 11 Sep 2007 17:38:53 -0300, "Don White" wrote: Finally got my new Canadian license numbers for the Princecraft Yukon.

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?) |

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. |

Raining here for a couple of days but I plan on taking the boat down to Cape Breton ASAP to cruise the beautiful Bras d'Or Lakes see... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...n/HPIM0692.jpg and http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...n/HPIM0691.jpg |
