| Subject: | Removing Printed Identification Labels from Instrument |
Panel
The old labels are off with little damage to the powder coated instrument
panel. I finally called Brothers the manufacturer of the P touch label
printer and tape. They were polite but offered little real help. They
wanted to know just which of their labels were involved. After five years I
couldn't tell them.
MEK seemed to soften it a little especially after I had shaved some of the
label off with my pocket knife. The result was very good with only a couple
specks of damage. The lower row which looked the same was no trouble at all
for the MEK. Even though it looked the same it was obviously different
tape. It came off very easily. Thanks again to all of you who had
suggestions.

Subject: Kitfox-List: Removing Printed Identification Labels from Instrument
Panel
Wow! You guys really came through for me with a lot of great suggestions.
I will give them all a try. After I got back to the house, my wife
presented me with an unopened bottle of Goo Gone from her pantry. I will
return to the hangar tomorrow afternoon with that and some of the other
solvents suggested. I will report the results. The labels came from one of
those little printers that sell at the office supply stores.
You just never know what your next hang-up will be. I never guessed label
removal would be one. The good news is that I installed my new Grand Rapids
EFIS Display in my panel, lit it up and no smoke!. Not all of the sensors
are wired yet, but even in the hangar it is a blast to play with. I'm like
a kid at Christmas. It interfaces with the Grand Rapids EIS I already had.
What a blast. The Grand Rapids people are one of the nicest groups I have
ever dealt with. Sandy who answers the phone actually told me not to waste
time going out and looking for the little parts I need to complete the
install, and to just let her know what I need and she would just send them
to me. I purchased the larger Sport model and the daylight viewable screen
is really that. Moving map downloads and software upgrades are free
forever. They say the feds don't charge them, so why should they charge
their customers. See what Garmen has to say on that subject. When I buy
an upgrade from Garmen, I am only allowed to use it in one of my Garmen
products.
Thank all of you for your responses. I suspect the problem as Paul says he
once found, that my solvents are not getting through the label to the glue.
I think I will need to attack the label material itself.
