Removing frame tube decal.

You might want to start with a electric hair dryer and see if you can soften it up a little so
that you can peel it off. A heat gun would be the next step, but that is a little more
dangerous, both for the bike and the operator :-) Next, Follow up with some WD-40 to get the
gunk off or try GooGone.

Good Luck, Dan

I have a steel frame made from Columbus Cromor OR tubing and it needs repainting. I wonder if it
is possible to remove a Columbus frame tube decal without damageing it. Will heat just melt the
thin layer??

To remove adhesive try a product called Bestine. It is sold as a rubber cement thinner. We get it
from art supply stores. It is the best thing we have found as it does not harm paint or plastics.

Most resprayers will have a supply of "respray" tubing stickers - at least they do for
Reynolds tubing.
