Title: Decal removal
Post by: fmx on September 02, 2009, 02:02 PM

Oh wise ones,

Did I read somewhere that you can remove decals using a hairdryer? If so can anyone tell me more and if the decals taken off can be reused and still look as good?  Your knowledge and experience will be received with much gratitude.

yes you can get them off with a hairdryer........not tried re-aplying them though??  i guess you could use a clear sticky film over them?   :-\

Chances are they will never go back on really nicely.

You can get them off with a hairdryer, but you will never get them off in a 100% re-usable state (there's always a little stretch and the edges curl a little under the heat)
