tips for removing decal glunk
« on: April 18, 2009, 04:53 PM »
i took the disgusting factdory decals off my floval but it's left horrible gunk on the frame........i've tried hot soapy water...didn't touch it, i've tried nail varnish remover but it's not really making any headway on it either.

anyone know of a good product for shifting the old gunk?

White spirit has always worked for me.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

Stickystuff remover gel spray.Get it from wilkos at about £1.99 - spray on, leave for 5 min, rub with finger and the residue will come off. Being a gel it will stay where you spray it.

Lighter fluid is good and readily availiable. Doesnt seem to harm powder, not sure about paint.....

 and the fumes are nice too :D
