Thread: need some advice on pulling decals

Tweet

I hope the guy who invented the "eraser wheel" for removing stripes is sitting on a beach somewhere with a drink in his hand with an unbrella in it and a fine bikini wearing lady next to him. These wheels are the best thing since sliced bread! Yep, they are kinda messy, but they WORK. Now, first off, you really do need the special tool to use them. It is a "die grinder" with a gear reduction. It has a LOT of torque at a low RPM. If you put it in a drill or something, it works "ok" but not nearly as good as in the correct tool.

On just a stripe, a narrow stripe, heat it up and scrape it off with the plastic squeegee works well too.

Be VERY careful with the adhesive remover sprays, they can be pretty strong and soften paint, to a test in an inconspicuous place (as it says on the can ).

Ive found that wd 40 makes a great adhesive remover and its cheap and ive never seen it hurt paint thats dried.
