Transfer removal

[PeterGreenwood]

I have recently bought a Burstner MH where the previous owner had a number of decals (tranfers) positioned on the sides and rear (8 qty). What is the best way to remove these? Will it need to be T cutted after removal etc.

A decent hair dryer, good fingernails and patience.
Warm up the area a bit at a time and the stuff will peel of quite well.

Spam! I'm surprised the moderator has left it here this long. Should block the IP address too...

No, Clive's definitiely not spam - I wouldn't fancy eating him with chips.

Welcome to the new gang Clive - you certainly get a better class of insult over here

!

Hi there
We've had a few problems with spammers, but we're doing our best to remove and block it wherever it rears its ugly head.
Thanks for being patient with us.

Hi Tony and Rob,
Its just another bunch of scalliwags to keep an eye on.

Re the original question cutting back the finish on the coachwork after taking off plastic letters etc is a a variable craft. A lot depends on what the material is. Also the paint finish on pre-painted aluminium sheeting is frequently only a few microns thick, its very easy to cut back to bright ally. GRP surfaces, I have used chrome cleaner to good effect but suggest that whatever you use try it on a sample area first.

Hi
You may have had some problems with spam but I suggest caution before deciding someone is 'spam'. Clive may have a strange sense of humour at times but is an expert you do not want to upset.

Ha, Ha. I'd never call Clive Spam. He's a good egg, certainly, but never Spam.
He's a valued contributor to the magazine, and chips in with some gems to this forum.
The Spam post that caused complaints has been removed from the site now, but the objections to it remain. Sorry if that's unclear to a new user, and we'll look at ways of making this more obvious in future.
Regards

Thanks for the clarification Rob, and well done for removing the bad 'un before most of us even saw it!

Spam, egg AND chips - that's food for thought!

Need a 'Report post' link so that spam and similar problems can be brought to the attention of the moderator quickly.

And maybe an automatic "Posting removed by Moderators" to fill the space to avoid misunderstandings?
Clive's shoulders are broad and we've all had a laugh about it, but Andy's "spam alert" posting of 2 Dec could have ended up immediately underneath something from a newcomer.

 

[CapableClive]

Its not just my shoulders that are broad, and christmas hasn,t helped either. But with a name like mine you need a thick skin as well.

Slightly going off the subject of removal, and going on to sticking one on, does anyone have any idea where I can get a plain black contact paper that will handle being stuck to the exterior of a M/H?
I had my exhaust blow on the way to Scotland, and took it to a Garage to have a replacement put on. Didn't find out until we reached Scotland the next day, that, when they put it on the hoist, one of the metal roof trusses pierced the roof at the back. I've pop riveted a plate over it and it has sealed ok, and even though I've painted it, and I know it's there!!! and it stands out like the proverbial at the rear of a dog, to me anyhow! Thought I could cut out a siloette of something to hide it Any Ideas?
