Is there a way to remove and reuse a label/decal?  Want to refinish the machine but really like the original label.

Thank you

Get a sign shop to make a new decal.  With a little effort, they should be able to scan it and re-create an exact new decal.

Thanks for the link Eric

They have a Toy 'N Joy, 5c Gum decal I was searching for. I had the same issue trying to save the decal.

Thanks guy. Crowe doesn't have one. Thought about having it scanned but want to keep the original given its age and all. Only issue is its right in the way.

      A fine line masking tape will save it.

Thin like pin striping tape?

I was concerned tape would pull up the decal, even low tack tape

Blue fine line tape comes in many different sizes . Painters use it for custom stripe work and two tones paint work . But it will look like  :censored:if you restore around a decal .

Thanks Zadd. Have a feeling I'm going the scan and print route.
