Get your fingernail underneath and pull it off very carefully keeping the heat on the sticker where you want it to release.

Either that or bring it down to me this afternoon and I'll di it.

Hairdryer works a treat with a bit of patience as has been said, be careful on the heat settings though - easy to burn your hands!

There is also the risk of being intercepted on the way to the garage/shed with the significant others hairdryer in hand so have your story ready

Cheers,

Martin,

My ST was coverd in stickers when I first got it - and they all came of with the afore mentioned hairdryer technique.

As said above - just be carefull not to let the panel get TOO hot

This should help a little:

WD-40 at the end is a nice touch to get rid of all the stickiness.
