Yes, I forgot to mention finishing with 3M adhesive remover.  Professional
grade,
(http://www.premiumboatcare.com/3m-adhesive-remover-32.html?productid=3m-adh
esive-remover-32&channelid=FROOG ) available at auto body suppliers, and
very useful for removing any adhesive or goo (not from some plastics
though!).  I don't like buying one-use tools, and I  gave up on that eraser
in short order once on a big decal, and that's when I went to the heat
technique.

True.

However, while the heat from a hair dryer will loose the vinyl lettering so
you can pull it off, it will not remove the baked on glue that will be left
behind on the fiberglass.

The stripe remover will get it all in one move.
