| I was cleaning my emmons with polish and ran it across the decal on the pedal bar and removed the emmons ink. The backing was left intact and I don't know the best way to get it off. I don't think it will just peel off and I can't try to scrape it of in fear of scratching the pedal bar. I thought about using a heat gun to loosen the glue on the decal. Does anyone know the best way to get it off. I bought a new decal from Jerry Roller about 2 weeks before he died. thanks Winston May |

| I used a heat gun to remove the decal and Goo Gone to remove the remaining gum, then polished it on my polishing machine. |

| I second the heat and Goo Gone, you can also buy plastic razor blades which will help you keep from scratching if needed. |

After heating it up and pealing it off, you can try wiping off the sticky stuff with WD-40. I do that frequently on various surfaces with no problem.

| They make a rubber eraser you can install on a drill. You will still have to remove the residue, some denatured alcohol should take care of the rest. |

heat gun to remove the decal and Goo Gone to remove the remaining gum...WD40 will leave a residue.
Do not use WD40 anywhere on a PSG...JMHO!!!!

Usually lacquer thinner will lift most decals.

Actually a heat gun will do a great job of softening the adhesive and the decal can be peeled right off. for the adhesive. WD40 works great and it's something most people have on the shelf.

Oops, I meant to say WD40 works great for removing the adhesive.

| Liberally soak a small sheet of paper towel with Goo Gone and place over decal or sticker, let remain there for 30 to 45 minutes then, wipe off residue. |
