[VACList] Adhesive and decal removal



Hello all,

A method I've used for removal of adhesive, decals, stickers, etc. when 
nothing else will work is paint remover. Use the thick stuff, and keep the 
area wet for a while, and it will lift the plastic and remove the adhesive 
almost every time. Obviously, this doesn't work without disturbing clear 
coat, but it is less destructive than sanding. With my '50's trailers, clear 
coat isn't an issue.

Also, thanks to everyone for the info on the fasteners that hold my fridge 
access door on. I think that they are Southco style.
