Hey Guys,

I have a sticker on a set of handle bars that I need to remove and then have remade after a repaint. What is the best way to get a sticker that is in good condtion off? I was thinking heat but I thought I should ask first.

Thanks

Heat is the best way, but with caution. You just want enough warmth to soften the adhesive, not melt the sticker material itself. Go slow, and let the warmth "soak in". Try to heat the item the sticker is on more than the sticker itself.

Thanks Nighthawk. Its nice to have a little comfirmation when its an important decal. It came off like a charm.

i have found the best method to remove decals is a craft knife ,or stanley blade , just put under the decal and pull wet with some hot soapy water and then cut of the remaining pieces of sticker.
