How do you remove stickers?

What are you using to remove old vinyl stickers from your boats? I'm sitting here under a foot of dust from sanding off the old paint, but the darn stickers are still there!!

Single edge shop style razor blade & laquer thinner if it's gecoat, plain alcohol if it's paint. Keep very light pressure on blade with a low "angle of attack". B)

Use a hair dryer to warm up the stickers.

Be VERY careful using heat, especially larger 'glass hulls. Yes this method works, use the lowest possible heat setting & keep the heat source moving constantly. You'd be surprised how quickly fiberglass will soak up & retain enough heat to alter it's shape!

Soak them with lighter fluid it won't effect paint or plastic and will really take care of the glue on the stickers.
