| Subject: | Removing those &()^^)^%$ paper part number stickers |
I may be the only person who finds those little paper part number stickers on
Zenith parts particularly annoying. Sure, I want to know what the part number
is, but these little beasts attract dirt and grease, and don't like to come
off cleanly.
In case I'm not the only person, I have posted the method I'm using to remove
the paper stickers:
http://www.anemicaardvark.com/Z601XL/
This method removes them with relative ease, and even gets rid of the residue
left by the adhesive.

Just do what ZAC does in the quick-build-kits: leave them on and build them
into the plane :-)

I wouldn't personally do this in my aircraft, for several reasons:
1. Foreign Object Damage (FOD). The adhesive on the stickers will eventually
release, and the sticker will fall off. When it does, it can jam controls and
cause similar problems.
2. The adhesive on the sticker attracts dirt and other trash. It can
contribute to corrosion, some of it in areas that aren't visible.
3. Weight. An individual sticker doesn't weigh much, but all the stickers in
the airplane weigh something.
4. They (in my view) look tacky, no pun intended.

Jim,
I find using Lacquer Thinner works just the same too. I think its just as volatile
as MEK though.
