Decals are everywhere. You can find them on the bumper of your car, your RV and other means of transportation. When decals become worn and faded, you’ll want to remove them. You may even want to rid your property of a hideous decal before it has reached its life expectancy.  Removing decals with a heat gun is simple, but the following videos will visually show you how to get the job done.

Tips:

• Use a Master Appliance heat gun attachment that will help concentrate the heat in the right area.
• To avoid any damage, don’t keep the heat gun on one spot for more than a few seconds.
• Set your heat gun on its lowest setting to start. Increase heat if necessary.
• Wear heat resistant gloves to protect yourself.
