Pro Burner decals - can I bin 'em?

[woody allen bars]

Bought this early nineties Dirt Bike off a guy near Nottingham the other day and it's wearing Pro Burner decals (he put them on when it was new as he reckoned no-one would want to steal a Raleigh !). Was going to rip them off and bin them but although Burners aren't my thing I thought I'd better check if any of you guys want the stickers? Took the headtube sticker off no problemo, haven't tried the top or down tubes yet. If they're easily available I won't waste me time trying to ease them off. They're in pretty good condition, a few marks, but might be of use to someone?

 

Cheers, Craig

wow they are nice
I would keep them on there and try to take a hairdryer to them so you can warm up the glue to hopefuly remove them for scanning

hell yea , they are very hard to come by in that nick , i would let julian have them so he can copy them perfect if not I will do it

Thought someone might want them 

Any tips on how to get stickers off in one piece without distorting them? Thought about borrowing the mrs' hairdryer, but reckoned if I warmed the whole frame on a radiator could be even better. Used a 4" wide stanley blade to get the headtube sticker off, but these stickers are more than double the width.

Suggestions please ?

heat is the trick, and gently does it. maybe a bit of white spirit underneath to dissolve the edges of the glue as you lift them.

Careful with the white spirit, depends what type of ink was used on the stickers. Litho printers clean their rollers with white spirit.

maybe, i have rubbed furiously on decals with white spirit to get the backs clean before scanning on clearr decals, and there has never been a problem.

your right tho, do be carefull and proceed with caution.

leave the frame in the airing cupboard for day or so to get it nice n warm

then peel em carefully
hair dryer will help but too much heat and they will stretch.

have something ready to stick em flat onto
maybe some thin clear perspex

the stickers have been copied already by jon abbot, ive got them on me pro burner now. but deffo take them off and keep them. always good to have around, if julian doesnt want them ill have them.

Ok, got all the stickers off in one piece. Whichever Burner fan wants them, send me a pm with yr address and I'll put them in the post.
