I recently removed a decal connection decal from a blank that had a base layer of flex coat epoxy. My question is what do I use to remove the residual glue "sticky" I have tried IPA and denatured alcohol to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Re: Removing decal glue

Goo Gone. Then make sure all residue from that is gone. Not sure what it might do. I think alcohol followed by water might be right. Re: Removing decal glue

Xylene will take the residue right off.
Also, WD-40 will do a nice job in removing the residue. Then use simple green to remove the residue from the WD-40. Basically you need a solvent to dissolve the adhesive. So, nearly any petroleum based fluid will remove the residue. You could use brake fluid, automatic transmission fluid, motor oil, etc. Be safe Re: Removing decal glue

On most glue residue I have had success with a Staedtler Mars plastic eraser, the rectangular type, it balls up the glue and will not harm the rod with harsh chemicals and leaves no residue. Mine has a nice worn groove that conforms to the roundness of the blank. Ray Zarychta Glastonbury, CT Re: Removing decal glue

I've had a little experience with this.:) Acetone will do the trick. I would stay away from petroleum based removers. They tend to leave a residue that can cause problems down the road if you intend to refinish or apply another decal. Call me if I can be of any help to you. (931)561-0027
