I'm selling my longboard, and, like most people, it had a sick sticker job, but i just took it off because it looks better for selling w/out them. problem is, the stupid decals that are supposed to stay on are doing their job way too well... how do i take off decals and other stickers? tried goo-gone, and got nothing. plus k to good help!

get a razor balde or something sharp to lift a corner up, then peel. then use goo gone to get the sticky left over shit off the board.

or use a hair dryer to heat up the glue, that should make it easier to peel too

just sprayed and scrubbed because the bottom of the board makes it run off because of its shape... will soaking it help?

spray a ton of goo gone on a cloth and just leave the reg on the board over nught, worked on a wall so a longboard should be fine

This will work but after use paint thinner to get any of the sticky stuff that stays on, put it on a rag and rub

I hear this works wonders:

Combine it with the gasoline suggestion and it will come of in no time.

^ you might as well consider burning it if youre even THINKING about soaking that thing, there's nothing worse than a water-damaged long board

if you soak it, it will start to warp and crack, it happened to my first board a few years ago when i wiped out into some grass and the board shot into a little nearby creek...fucking thing is twisted now so usually only 3 wheels touch the ground

I think most people mean soak the sticker location with like a towel.


Not put the board in a swimming pool.
