Guys what means do you used to remove decals from a frame, i need them to be as intact as poss coz i need to send them to Del. Usally i warm them up a bit and he presto but these are foil type which are proving to be a nightmare.

Lighter fluid is what you need, pick a corner a bit to get it started then pour on the lighter fluid, then peel a bit more, then more fluid.  Keep doing it until the decal is off.  Go slowly and don't start pulling too hard otherwise the decal may rip.

The fluid disolves the adhesive on the back of the decal.

Don't smoke a cigarette whilst doing it though,  :LolLolLolLol:

Oh yeah, your fingers will go white also.
