Trashed Screen.

Next time, coat of polish before applying stickers? And remove them ASAP?

I used thinners to get rid of the petrol residue

I don't know why,
she swallowed a fly!

Get yourself a caramel wheel for the residue.


And don't ever be surprised that petrol and thinners damages plastic !

I've always used petrol to get stickers off.

Has it always damaged whatever you were taking the stickers off?

Nope. Been doing trackdays 25 years and they always put stickers on screen.

My money is on the thinners.

'Mineral spirits (paint thinner) won't hurt most plastics but will attack soft plastics and will slowly dissolve styrofoam. Lacquer thinner will craze acrylics, dissolve soft plastics, and munch styrofoam like cinema popcorn'.

I'd put some on Styrofoam and see what happens.

The only method I'd ever use to remove stickers is heat, judiciously applied.

I doubt Yorick's got the oxy-acetylene required for that though

[Taipan]

He could try Doccas oil filter wrench...

[Yorick]

I'll put some gaffer tape on first, in future

Pop rivets FTW!

The lesson might be not to buy cheap screens if you'll have to remove trackday stickers off them again.

I believe (and I could be wrong) that OEM and good aftermarket screens will be made of polycarbonate, while your double bubble screen from Uncle Ali will be whatever cheap plastic he had kicking around that would vacuum form nicely.

Polycarbonate will also hold up better against scratches.

It's the cost of winning the track day right!

Keep the mangled screen just for when stickers are needed

I'd be screwing some bit of temporary throwaway plastic onto the front somewhere if they're going to insist on smothering the bike in stickers on TDs. Unless it's sexy to keep the stickers as a memento and remind others how kool you are.

I'd just put another over the top.

[cheb]

Take a wardrobe door with you next time and stick them to that.

I used to do that to remind me how cool I was.
