    Default Removing Trolley Strips

    hey guys

    i had a look at all the tutes on how to remove them on this forum, but i havnt been very succesful.

    i had a shot at using fishing wire and sliding it along the strips but the wire just gets caught and snaps about 2" into the strip.

    does anyone have any tips?

    the fishing line trick should work, but u gotta remember that the glue used to hold it on is around 10+ years old and has mostly been out in the sun and stuff like that

    give it another crack but this time either use a heat gun or a hairdryer and heat up the glue so it becomes soft and then try sliding the fishing line through it

    just remember that the glue wont all come off in one go, u'll have dry bits and hard bits here and there, these usually come off with some sort of glue remover or whatever, cant remember what its called haha, and some solid elbow grease
