    Is there any possible way to remove this tag without damaging the apron? I know the Shadow apron decals are available, so I suppose I could use that if the artwork gets messed up. I expect it's not possible, but will give something a try if it may work.

    Thanks.

    If it's glued on, goo remover, freeze it off. A number of methods

    Seems like it's contacted cemented on really good.

    I'd leave it as a cool part of the pin's history.

    Totally agree Vid. All these shoped to hell pins look brand new, but it doesn't hurt to remember the life of pins before they entered the relatively boring life in private collection.

    It certainly does. I think I would leave it alone sick you may cause damage trying to remove it.

    But, maybe keep an eye out for an apron to replace yours with.

    I don't mind the tag and left it on so far because who cares. But now I'm getting ready to shop it to then sell it and I know someone will nitpick the tag.

    Freeze it off (can of air upside down). Then adhesive remover like goo-gone. Removed a similar tag from a wooden cabinet with no damage.

    That tag looks rotted on there, if you get it off you most likely will still see marks that it was there, if I were buying it I wouldn't care that it's there, but I'm sure there plenty of anal people out there that it would bother. If you get it off with good results please post a pic.
