Pinstripe removal tool

[DeepCMark58A]

I have a single pinstripe I want removed, do the erasure wheels work as well as advertised?

I always used a heat gun and a razor blade. once you start peeling it, peel it back on itself with just a tad bit of heat from the heat gun.

Yes tried and true method, figured for $12 I would try the tool.

I've used one one time, and it did really well. I had a large area to do, so it was nice to have. BUT, you still have to go back and clean up a little here and there with ... yup ... heat gun and a razor blade

Decided to have the pinstripe replaced so I will have the pros remove the old stripe. Will use the erasure when I reregister it in MN and remove the old numbers and license stickers.

I would think the numbers would just freeze off in Minnesota

This boat will not see temps below 40, only time it is wet is when it is being used. I bought it as a stored indoors boat when not in use will continue that.

The cold winters used to keep the riff raff out, that has changed.

Eraser wheel worked wonderful for me to remove old reg numbers and pinstripes. Mine were way to brittle to peel off by hand. I found it worked best in my battery powered drill, with the direction of rotation opposite of the direction I was moving the tool (if you're familiar with machining, it would be like conventional milling and NOT climb milling).
