Spray it on (it comes in a spray bottle), let it soak in for 5 minutes, and putty knife scrape it off. Simple and non-toxic.

In 2-3 min, they peel right off and the residue wipes up with the damp rag. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:50:40 AM PST US From: Gary Liming Subject: Re: Zenith-List: What's with the part #'s? --> Zenith-List message posted by: Gary Liming At 11:46 PM 3/16/2003 -0500, you wrote: > Someone tell Zenith that >they make labels with removable glue now days. Actually, I did tell ZAC that they do indeed made a sticker that was easier to remove while I was at the rudder workshop I attended. They said that they tried that, but many parts, including the aluminum, comes some oil on it, and they had a lot of trouble with the stickers coming off in transit, which is unacceptable. Jim hit the nail on the head - the secret is to just let the lacquer thinner soak the label for 2-3 minutes - lay the rag on top of the label to keep it from evaporating. Try it - you'll see the sticker peels right off without mush residue left at all. If you do it too soon, then you have the adhesive left on the aluminum, and you get to smear it around with the rag for awhile.

We discovered Goof-Off mid way through the building process and were amazed at how easily it took off the sticky stickers. No need to wait, Goof-Off on the rag, the rag on the sticker and ten seconds later it's all gone. Goof-Off is also great for removing all the magic marker lines and notes. Try it-You'll like it.

Just a spray and the sticker comes off. Pretty convenient. Jack
