lupo steve Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 You can just peel it off, get some fishing wire and prize it off, theres no recess of holes its just that annoying sticky stuff.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Pour a jar of locally produced honey over the badges and leave it on a sunny day.When the bee's come to get their honey back the badges will come off and they will fly back to their hive with them. You will never see them again.Don't be tempted to do anythjing else just yet as...Through the night the bears will come to get the left over honey and when they lick it off the 'glue' residue will go too.All you need to do then is wash as normal in the morning. Failing that get some dental floss and 'saw' through the foam pads behind the badge and then get some Tar & Bug Shifter or similar to remove the sticky residue. 20mins top!

heartagram Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Shouldn't take more than 5 mins if you pull them off and use a fudge wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricpanda Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Somthing to heat up the glue gently, dental floss and a good bit of elbow grease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbo Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 All bump strips are glued mate, whip em off. I used a credit card for my badges and bump strips, i also used some mountainbike degreaser to get the glue residue off, which worked much better than bug and tar remover!

Guest Lauryn Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hot water usually works a treat for getting glued on badges off imo, pour it over and leave for a minute and they just peel off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
