[QUOTE="Backslider, post: 261439, member: 8683"] Hello I'm refurbishing 1980s Alumacraft Backtroller 17 and am trying to prep it for painting. I'm removing the boat-long decals (stripes, manufacturer name, model name)with a heat gun and they coming off but leaving a tacky adhesive on the hull. I'm thinking of trying to get rid of this stuff with an orbital sander, acetone, or wire brush wheel. Before trying that I thought I'd ask and see if anyone know if those methods will damage the hull. I plan on painting the boat with a swamp grass camo pattern. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
