Default Dumb canopy decal question

Well, after doing the diabolo canopy, which came out looking terrible

And moving on to a voodoo 600, decals only look slightly better

And a TDR, ( decals look pretty good, IMO)

I think I have finally gotten the hang of installing these decals, and now I wish to upgrade my diabolo canopy with a set of triabolo decals

Does anyone know a good way to remove the old decals? I don't want to injure the underlying canopy finish...

Hot water? Hair dryer heat? Some chemical?

Thanks for the help

Use a hair dryer, but not too hot (otherwise you could damage the canopy, resin also can become weak).

What is your process for placing decals, or what issue are you having with putting them on?

No issues with installing them after my third canopy.

Copied from first post in thread:

So this thread is about removal. Not installation.

Thanks Gerd! That's what I figured, I just wanted to check before proceeding.
