No, I wasn't expecting private responses. My program was giving me trouble.
In fact it STILL doesn't show my original post. If someone can repost the
responses here, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Chas

REPOST of missing earlier post --

Stubby wrote, "But you could try a hairdryer (CAREFUL!!!) to soften the
glue."

I believe this is worth a try since most contact cements as used on the
appliques are heat sensitive. Method I would use is to warm the area with a
hair drier, pick up a corner using a knife blade, then gradually peel the
applique off while gripping it with tweezers or pliers, all the while,
keeping the immediate area pretty warm with a hair drier. As Stubby said,
be careful not to apply enough heat it to affect the plastic of the tub.

In that case, in summary. Goo-gone, napthaline (lighter fluid) or something
with xylene in it. Test anything on a small spot first, fiberglass can be
damaged.

To find the old post try either pressing the "new headers" button a few
times on your reader or increase the number of posts downloaded in the
settings (in outlook express, it is Tools menu, choose Options, select Read
tab). If you are using a browser to read NG try searching. If your still
having problems try posting a question about that in the appropriate NG.
