I have found that a household iron works even better than a heat gun. Title: Re: Decals - stickers on machine Post by: stburger on February 26, 2011, 08:03:33 pm Moondog,how do I apply iron??

Title: Re: Decals - stickers on machine Post by: collecture on February 26, 2011, 10:10:42 pm This thread got me thinking....
How would one go about removing a decal that is under a re-paint. Could be latex or automotive - don't recall. I have (from what I remember) is a CC decal on my 6CV that is different from anything I had seen before. I would like to salvage it if possible. Ideas?? Oh...as I recall the decal is centered on the vertical bend on the 110 main door (if that makes a difference in what to do).

If automotive paint try paint thinner first. If that is a no go work your way up, paint stripper etc..
Good luck!! Creighton Title: Re: Decals - stickers on machine Post by: collecture on February 26, 2011, 11:21:10 pm I am 80% sure it is not latex, but whatever it is it definately looks like it was applied with a brush.
I'll have to dig it out sometime.... Title: Re: Decals - stickers on machine Post by: stburger on February 28, 2011, 05:50:28 pm As far as using the iron . Shall I put a wet towel over the sticker, then applthe steam from iron.
Title: Re: Decals - stickers on machine Post by: Creighton on February 28, 2011, 07:07:36 pm Yes.
Creighton Title: Re: Decals - stickers on machine Post by: scalebowler on March 01, 2011, 12:24:12 am Does the iron method remove the decal in one piece? My gas pump has a derby sticker on it that I would like to save but really can't use since I am making it a standard pump and it is ontop of a phillips 66 shield of paint (the paint literally chipped off around the phillips decal that was over the derby decal)
Title: Re: Decals - stickers on machine Post by: loman4ec on March 01, 2011, 08:15:29 pm You can have the sticker scanned by a sign shop and they can reproduce it with an inkjet vinyl decal. I did it with a budweiser decal.
Title: Re: Decals - stickers on machine Post by: scalebowler on March 02, 2011, 12:11:04 am I got the decal off with no problem. It wanted to curl up so I just put it upside down on the ironing board with the wet towel over it and used the iron with steam to flatten it back down. Now I have a nice decal that I can display. Worked really fast too.
