Do aerialists live in airstreams?
I don't know what possessed me to replace the old , tired decals...
I guess I was tired of my trailer looking tired
Old decals don't want to come off, I used many different methods. My favorite is a warm/hot iron over a soaking wet cloth. Most of the decal peels off with this method.
Mineral spirits are best for glue residue. I used alcohol, some 3m toxic thing, goo be gone.. a blade, I tried them all
it is mostly elbow grease
putting the new decal on is no picnic either! a two person operation...no yelling
we super cleaned the area, rubber off all dirt with alcohol, made a solution of 4 drops dish soap and water, sprayed, peeled, squeegeed....
over the rivets we used a hair dryer and pushed on the rivets with a tennis ball
we waited and waited the more you squeege the better it sticks...we used a mini credit card for the corners...
We are going to be so cool and popular!!!
Scythian beautification
The Scythian is getting some work done on her. Today we will remove the rest of the blue decal along the side of the trailer. This is the worst job ever! The decal is fossilized on the trailer, I have removed half of it, I started in 2008, I got side tracked.
However today is the day of decal removal
