I bet debond will remove the stripe .. or cause damage to the stripe. you need to contact Bob about how he recommends folks remove items attached to the stripes of the boats he built. :: Dave Scobie :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - https://m17-375.com/ <http://www.m17-375.webs.com> :: Truck camper - https://truckpopupcamper.wordpress.com/ :: Ramblings - https://scoobsramblings.wordpress.com/ :: former M15 owner #288 - http://www.freewebs.com/m15-name-scred On Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 10:12 AM, David Rifkind <drifkind@acm.org> wrote:

While I'm writing, maybe someone on the list will have some pertinent experience for a looming question: the best way to remove vinyl characters (both reg numbers and previous boat name) that have been applied directly to the blue vinyl top stripe this recent Nor'Sea model came with from the factory to its previous owner? I'm hoping the characters directly on the gelcoat on the stern will be easier but am concerned about damaging the attractive stripe in the process of updating the boat's identity. Has anyone had success with this already before I start experimenting?
I’ve had some luck with DeBond. It’s a little inconsistent--on some things it's magic, on others it hardly works. It's always the first thing I try.
