    Default Removing decals

    First off, I just received my UL-1, cudos to Steven and Priority Post. The item was received within 5 working days with no damage.
    The boat has pre-applied decals, what is the best method to remove these decals with no damage to the paint?

    I used a plastic knife to get up the corners and just pulled them off. Keep a steep angle towards the direction you are pulling them.

    warm them up with a hair dryer they should come off easy.

    That works but you have a greater chance of leaving adhesive residue behind. Not a big deal as alcohol will take care of that but it's an extra step.

    WD 40 also removes adhesive very well
