I'm trying to remove some decals from an older boat. Actually got the decals themselves off but am left with the adhesive stuck on the gelcoat. I tried a light application of acetone....no luck. tried gasoline..a litle better but this adhesive is tough. What can I use that won't damage the gelcoat?

3M Adhesive Remover is the &^%$. You will probably have to get it from an auto body supply shop. I used it to take off the black SONIC stickers on my boat.
M1 Remover from Home Depot is also good, but the 3M stuff is better.

If you don't have a heat gun (set on low), use a hair drier. Just don't hold in one place too long. We do that along with a plastic razor blade to help peal it off. Works great!
