Removing Covering

I have done this with a heat gun and just by peeling it away. The covering I removed mind you was Monocote or Ultracoat. If it is similar to Century 21 Fabric then it should also work this way. Not sure though if it is a fabric and dope type covering. Hopefully some people with experience with that can help.

Crash, just peel it off carefully using a heat gun where necesary to loosen the really stuck parts, then put on the rubber gloves and get a jug of acetone (laquer thinner) and some cloths, and rub the exposed surfaces to remove any of the left-over gunk.

Have fun!
