Subject:      stripes

I don't know the easy way to get stripes off, if there is one. Heating the stripes with a hair dryer gets a little more of the stickum to stay with the stripe rather than with the car, but it's a wash, I think, since the hair dryer slows down the first pass (stripe off) and doesn't save that much on the second pass (stickum off).

Best approach I know is to do the first pass on a sunny afternoon and the second pass the next morning when it's cool. Also use a stool for both passes if you're my age.

Obviously if there's a magic trick to make this easy, I need to know it too. B.
