I just removed two old registration stickers from my Bell Seliga Tripper using hot soapy water and a Magic Eraser...worked great!!! It took a little scrubbing but it did not affect the finish at all, good as new. The stickers were also warm from sitting in the sun which may have also helped. I know Goo Gone works, but it may dull the finish.

Acetone referenced above will soften/remove any gel coat or resin coat. A hair dryer or heat gun works ok. Follow up with lighter fluid (as in ronsonol) to clean up any residue.

Correct. That is why I had to use my sander.

Has anyone ever been able to successfully remove stickers from your kevlar canoe? If so, what did you use?
I bought a used outfitter rental canoe and I would really like to get rid of their stickers but they are proving to be quite a challenge and I don't want to damage the canoe in the process.

This is one case where I would call or email a canoe builder and ask them for advice. Good luck.

Hair dryer or hot air gun (be careful).

Heat, a plastic or nylon scraper, and acetone or rubbing alcohol for the residue.

I imagine that the Outfitter stickers have been varnished over several times like the ones on my old outfitter canoe. So getting them off will be a chore.

I've just embraced my old outfitter logos. I kind of like them, and don't see them on the water very often. Kind of like a throwback.

I had good luck getting an old outfitter sticker off with just a little heat from a heat gun.

With advice from others on this forum I used a hair dryer and it worked like a charm

Thanks for the responses everyone! I will give the hair dryer a shot. I don't have the skill or ambition for any more of a chore than that, LOL

Look at your canoe again in the sunlight. Magic erasers scratch gel coats and resin. Keep them in the house and away from your boat.
