NVWOCI WVS Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 lighter fluid dissolves the adhesive, theen they pretty much fall off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daborn Meister Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hairdryer, takes time, but then use a plastic fish slice to get them off, or something else think, but make sure it's a softer material than your frame. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Peel as much as the sticker off as you can. Then use white spirit or lighter fluid like Sam said to remove the sticky residue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hairdryer, dosent stink like white spirit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted June 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Any other ideas? Will look for lighter fluid, but I don't believe I have any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomR Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hairdryer/heatgun, patience, rag, white spirit. Although I can't believe people these days have got to the age of 16+ and never known how to peel a sticker off something. Didn't you all grow up plastering everything in sight with free stickers?!

Yeah, but these stickers have been on this bike for about 8 years! So it might suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and what's a fishslice? I don't have any clue about fishing stuff. And this may sound stupid, but I don't have a hairdryer. Parents took it with em on vacation.

TomR Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 8 days or 8 years, it's the same principle - it's a bit of sticky backed plastic. And if you know what lacquer is, and you're not completely blind, it should be fairly easy to tell if they're lacquered over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Fish slice.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomR Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) Or if you're normal - a spatula. On the subject of fish, you can use fishing line too. Heat the sticker up and drag the line along your frame, then when it gets a bit sticky again heat the sticker up some more.
