Working on my ASW-20 today. Changing the contest numbers and N# which
are old vinyl markings. My guess is they were applied *around 1995

A fingernail did not get an edge started so looking for the best way
to remove these with relative ease.

I have removed lots of vinyl lettering from vehicles.

Use a hair dryer to warm up the entire surface of the letter, grab a
corner and the whole thing should pull off. *Don't overheat, you do
not want to damage the gelcoat.


And WOODEN scraper. Clean up leftover adheasive with acetone, the
compound and polish.
Good Luck
