3M makes a type of rubber wheel you put in a drill and use to rub off adhesive lettering. Apparently they work well. Google "3M Stripe Off Wheel" There are videos out there showing how they work. They use them at work to strip decals off municipal vehicles, including police cars, before we auct

3M makes a fabric wheel (don't know what it's called) that can be used after softening the lettering with a heat gun or hair dryer. Then use General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner (also from 3M) that comes in a spray can. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Wed, Apr 21, 2021 at

Neil, Get the 3M wheel for sure. It works great. I have used this many times on boats and cars. You don't need to get a solvent as there should not be any residual adhesive. It all comes off. I replaced the "HARMONY" on my transom this spring due to fading. Took 10 minutes to remove the ol

You can use a 3M stripper wheel. Others on this list can probably provide the proper name for it. Is basically like a white pencil eraser that is wheel shaped and used with a cordless drill. Worked very well for me to remove former home port off Persistence Mike Hoyt Persistence Halifax, NS

Adhesive lettering is WAY easier than old painted lettering! A heat gun and a sharp scraper are your friends. The heat gun will loosen the adhesive on the vinyl and then you can get a scraper or razor edged scraper in underneath to peel it off. Dean C&C 34 Halifax, NS Thanks to all of the su

I had a look at that video - not a bad approach, would add that it’s easier to layup the disks and other patches each onto a sheet of waxed paper then lift that into place rather than lifting the messy epoxy patch itself. If you are making 4 patches, stack 4 sheets of waxed paper in your layup

Another option is to buy smooth fiberglass sheet in 4" x 36" or 4" x 72" long strip and epoxy that over the holes. 1/8" would be plenty think as this area is not structural. For $10.73 plus shipping, this stuff is amazingly stiff and strong and will save most of your final faring time. You ca
