hi all, I don't have access to power and want to remove old stickers from the hull, Any suggestions?

There are cordless and butane flameless heat guns for less than $80 . Comes in handy for other uses.
Makita has a good cordless one..
I would be very carefull trying a scraper .

In bunnings in the tool section / soldering
They will have small butane heat guns
If u buy one wave it across the stick don't hold it one one spot to long
There good for heat shrink when you're doing electrical
And lighting your smokes and gas stove

Thats why i said to be careful with a scrapper blade. If your not that good, use some old perspex sheet. That will give you a nice sharp edge to work with.

Really best is to just peel it of, spray on wax and grease remover and let it work its way in. I should say I've used this method for over 20 years in the marine industry..Its tried and tested

Heat guns are great, especially as i said heat it first. But he said he has no access to power..Ive never seen a portable model, but thats not to say it doesn't exist

Good thinking HG02

Thanks HG but I already did my old stickers ala jbshack's method. I was looking for a non-flame heatgun to use onboard. I have a portable butane heatgun from Whitworths but find that the flame adjustment is not very subtle so if you're working in a tight space it's a bit tricky. I just discovered there's such a thing as a flameless heatgun but maybe I'll just heat a small piece of metal or something in that case.
