Removable permit stickers
Hi all,
I am getting a boat permit sticker for a local lake for the price of $50. I have multiple boats, and would like to be able to take whichever I feel like for that day w/o having to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of permits (i.e. one for each boat). So I'd like to make the sticker easily removable and transferable between fiberglass boats. My first thought was to stick the sticker to one of those static-cling type glass "stickers", but these don't hang on to the glass all that well, and probably the added weight of the sticker wouldn't help. Another option would be to keep layering it with clear tape, and/or double stick tape. Anyone have any other suggestions for this problem? Thanks, don |

May not be the world's neatest solution, but a small Velcro pad - either
hooks or loops - affixed to each boat and the permit on a corresponding thin piece of rigid plastic (or whatever) backed by the appropriate Velcro (hooks if loops were used on the boats or vice versa) would give you portability. Self-sticking Velcro can be found at most fair sized hardware stores. "don schad" wrote in message ... Hi all, I am getting a boat permit sticker for a local lake for the price of $50.

Why not just leave the backing on the sticker and put it in a map case? That way you can display it, though not as easily seen as a sticker, and transfer it from boat to boat without any extra shenanigans. bkr |

Well, the "officals" at the place want the sticker to be "permanently" attached to the boat so that, for example, I can't buy one sticker and share it with the whole neighborhood. So the idea is to make it look permanent, but allow me to share it with the whole neighborhood. don |

Removable permit stickers
I run into this problem with my inflatables. Minneosota requires licensing and
display of the license on each boat. In the beginning, I naively pasted my stickers on to my IK and raft, only to watch them peel off, get abraded into obscurity, and have to file for duplicates. I used to carry all of my licenses in a pouch in the top of my paddling hat, but after losing the hat one year, I had to adopt a better method. I solved this problem by laminating the sticker and attaching it with a cable tie to the grab loop on the kayak and a front D ring on the raft. It was permanent in the sense it needed to be cut off to move it. Since I do license every boat, I had no reason to move the tag, but did make it much easier to maintain. If I buy a State Park permit sticker, the rangers like to see it attached to the windshield before I drive off, or sometimes, they will attach it. I have solved this problem, by buying two. One gets attached to my vehicle, and the other I take home to put on a 3 x 3 inch square of soft vinyl which I can stick on to the lower corner of the windshield of my choice. This works really well for the second car in a shuttle when taking new or non-paddling people out for a day. Blakely Blakely LaCroix Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. RBP Clique member # 86.
