waxed dental floss is an acceptable substitute for the fishing line as well. (i like mint :) )

plus one on this, the line broke on me too much cause it got hot and the line failed. Use some gloves too. Heat it with a hiar dryer and work your way slowly with the floss. I also used one of those non-scratch brilo pad type things to get the residue off. takes a while but its worth it. Then use some scratch off from wally world to take out any blemish. Wax that puppy and your golden

eraser wheel probably does it twice as nice, so if you have it or get it use that!

I did mine with NO problems. I got it real hot with a hair dryer and pulled them all off. then used goo gone to get the goo off...

no problems.

Exactly what I did and no problems at all. No paint came off and mine is an 01done in 08 so it was on older paint. Thought that might be an issue but it wasnt.

Wish I would have found this before I did mine by hand and a putty knife. Used the knife, very carefully, to pull it away enough to get my fingers behind them. Had to do it in sections on different days because my fingers were raw.

use it as a 'saw' to cut thru the adhesive.

it is. plus it is waxed so it won't damage the paint.
