Carbon fiber decal removal

[voljeepx]

I am using SMS carbon fiber decals, and I did a rather large area. There was a little overlap and now that it has all dried I would like to trim and remove the excess. There lies the problem. I have tried decal solvent to try and soften them up, but no luck. Anybody have any other ideas for me? Thanks for your help! Ed

Yes, I have a method, but you have to be very, very careful. I learned this from someone on this forum and I can't remember who. Anyway, use regular Scotch-type clear tape. After you trim with a sharp blade, you can apply the tape where you want to remove the decal and, voila, it will remove it. Sometimes it takes a couple tries before it all comes up, but if you are patient you can get it all removed without damaging the decals you leave in place.

Does that make sense?

I gotcha,Curtis. Sounds so simple I hope I can pull it off! <pun intended> Thanks for the tip!
