I do not know how many of you do your numbers and letters quick and dirty like me, but I had a problem with mine comming loose around the edges after setting in my van in the hot sun for a few days. It was well over 100 deg. outside, and way over that in the van. I tried sticking them back down with a Kote iron, but that did not work. I knew they stick really tight, and they were over silk and dope, with clear dope over them. What to do? I spied my heat gun over in the corner, and used it to heat them up a little to where I could get a finger nail under the edge, and they came right off. I then sanded the ridge down that was left, and stuck down new ones in the same place. I will wait till they dry for a day, sand them lightly with 600 grit wet, and give them a few coats of clear dope. They will look better than new. I have planes that are over ten years old that have never given me this trouble, but this has been an extremely hot summer, and I won't leave it in the van for days anymore.

Yeah Mark; I get mine at Hobby Lobby, the craft store. They are the ones that stick so tight that you can't remove them without pulling up paint or tearing the covering. But heat will work to remove them easily. Been using them for years without problems until now. They just don't like the 125+ deg. heat in my van.

Thanks for that Jack. Sigment is good stuff. I will try it if I ever have this problem again.

As Ty stated, I make vinyl stencils for my stunt buddies at reasonable prices. I use a very high quality paint mask and cut it with a 56" vinyl plotter, so big jobs are no problem.
