removing decals without damage

(1/4) > >>

markyp:
ok peeps we all know the hair dryer technique for removing decals but if they are really old they tend to get distorted under heat either stretching or shrinking rendering them useless to scan to reproduce,so ladies how does one remove them without totally fookin em up,at least good enough to reproduce????? :-\

stidds:
I have used lighter fluid to good effect Mark, it slowly disolves the glue.  Only problem is that it is potentially dangerous so no having a ciggy and the fluid will make the skin on your fingers turn white (until you wash them).

monkian:
I had to do this a while back. This might help :daumenhoch:
