        I like my heat gun...seems to work well. Youll want make sure to put a good wax on the hull after youve pealed decals.

              I was thinking of having to wet sand it to get the fading out. Hopefully I can just buff it out tho and Ill be for sure waxing tho boat. Id just rather get the decals off before I waste the time waxing it now. I got a wild hair in my as* to get rid of the graphics

                Will a blow dryer work as a heat gun?

                  Yep. Just be aware of the temperature settings.

                      How hot do u want to get them? Do the graphics get tacky when they're warmed up? I read not to use a puddy knife or razor blade. So what do you use?

                          Some will bubble, others shrink a bit, I recommend not using any sort of sharp instrument, screw driver, etc... I use my fingernail.

                              What if I bite mine? Im sure I kind find something plastic that will scrape it off without cutting the gel coat. Im nervous to see what kind of ghosting will be left after they're off
