bathtub appliques

Did you read the responses already posted to your prior request?

Were you expecting private e-mail responses ? You posted this question already and should be able to locate the answers we gave.

No, I wasn't expecting private responses. My program was giving me trouble. In fact it STILL doesn't show my original post. If someone can repost the responses here, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Chas

REPOST of missing earlier post --

I believe this is worth a try since most contact cements as used on the appliques are heat sensitive. Method I would use is to warm the area with a hair drier, pick up a corner using a knife blade, then gradually peel the applique off while gripping it with tweezers or pliers, all the while, keeping the immediate area pretty warm with a hair drier. As Stubby said, be careful not to apply enough heat it to affect the plastic of the tub.

In that case, in summary. Goo-gone, napthaline (lighter fluid) or something with xylene in it. Test anything on a small spot first, fiberglass can be damaged.
