What is the best way to remove stock stickers or graphics from the ds plastic without scratching up the plastic? Is there some kind of solvent that you can use? Any good ideas or experiences?

try a hair dryer, warm the plastic up, peel it off and then use gas to
clean up the residue. Takes a little time but it works- anyone else try any thing better?

The hairdryer trick is great. Also what works is a heat gun. You must be careful, however, for obvious reasons. Following the removal use an adhesive remover such as googone (pick up at any home improvement store). As a graphics professional I use a product called Rapid Remover. It works unbelievably fast. You can probably pick up a sample by calling the rapid tac company at 514-474-1113 (I am looking at the bottle now). I get it at a local sign supply company in my town. Good Luck!!!! -tracksidegrafx.com [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Lacquer thinner works great to get the goo off, and it won't hurt the plastic.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Whatever you do dont use gas or laquer thinner!!!!!!! Gas will discolor the plastic and laquer will discolor it and warp and melt the hell out of it. Use a hair dryer and pull the sticker off very very slowly and if you do it right there will be abosolutly no sticker residue left.
