[Shop-talk] decal removal

Free-Range Firewood!  Man - that's a killer marketing idea - I may try that
down here in Dallas.  The metric crescent wrenches I use to sell pale in
comparison!

OK, here is the follow up on the removal.

First, I did use a heat gun to get the vinyl 80% off.  It required a 
precise blend of heat to soften, but no enough to make it just break right 
away.

Once off, I tried the WD40 and a plastic scrapper.  It did very little.

Then I wet the door really well, and used a razor blade in a scrapper. 
Work perfectly.  I did chip the paint once or twice, but this is a work 
truck, so no great loss.

Thanks for the help guys!

(Andy yes, I'm putting my decal over it.  My farm's name is "Moose 
Freerange Firewood:  Where all the timbers are free range!"  (seriously, 
that's it!)  8>)
