Nail polish remover is mostly acetone. That also can work.

Acetone.... works like a champ. As you know I have had my fair share of changing names on boats over the last few years. I use a heat gun to get the lettering off and a quick wipe down with acetone takes off the rest.

You know The Pickle misses you!!!!

And Congrats are in order as well.

Ted

We use a heat gun here, but for the residue that's left behind we use a product called "Goo Gone". It comes in a yellowish bottle. It works great, smells like lemons and won't damage anything underneath it. I've used it on priceless antiques to remove unfortunately placed stickers and it left zero scratching.
