Stus-List Re: Removing lettering

[Edd Schillay via CnC-List]

Neil,

Heat gun to get all the vinyl off, then some Goo Gone or Acetone with a little 
elbow grease to clear away the remaining glue. 

All the best,

Edd

Oh great and powerful list 😉.  I need to remove some lettering (adhesive) to 
change my home port, etc. 

Suggestions?

I had a look at that video - not a bad approach,  would add that it’s easier to 
layup the disks and other patches each onto a sheet of waxed paper then lift 
that into place rather than lifting the messy epoxy patch itself.  If you are 
making 4 patches, stack 4 sheets of waxed paper in your layupboard before you 
start.   Put the precut glass in the stack too, you avoid handling things with 
sticky gloves.     It’s also easier to lay up multiple layers on the 
board/paper than doing one at a time. 
When I updated the instruments on Windstar I replaced two B&G displays with one 
ray marine, leaving one hole.  I elected not to fill the extra hole but made a 
plexiglass cover the same shape and footprint of the new instrument.  It’s 
ready should I wish to add a second display,  it looks fine to me and was a lot 
less work.

Remember also that epoxy will stick to polyester but the reverse isn’t true - 
should you wish to use gelcoat to finish the repair you should bear this in 
mind.  I’ve always felt that once you start painting the deck or mixing 
materials you were heading down a slippery cosmetic slope.
