Fishy Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 If you lift up the edge of the sticker, and get some petrol on a cloth, and dab it around. it should peel of. If you don't have any spare petrol, WD-40 will do. But doing this can make the paint on your frame bubble.Otherwise, get a hairdryer and keep it on the sticker, Which makes the glue soften up. So it's a hell of a lot easier to peel off. Or reverse effect, if you warm up the frame if you get new stickers it makes the sticker stick 10 times better.

JT! Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) I just peel them off. Then if there's any marks just get a cloth and put some elbow grease into it and rub what's left off.Try pouring boiling water over it, melts the glue. Edited July 6, 2006 by JT!

Bike addict Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Use a hairdryer mate, it softens the glue so that it peels right off, if there is any residue left, get it off with paint stripper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris_on_trials Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 If you use a hairdryer the glue is usually left on the frame. No need to worry DW40 will bring it right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duck Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Just asked a local OAP (my mum) and she said: eucalyptus oil.I think its one of those things you get it chemists for un-blocking noses. But i tried it and it works quite well!Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned1 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 a heat gun works well or a small brazinng torch although i found the stickers melt if you hold the torch too close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
