Quoted from creech927:So mind if I ask some basic stupid questions since I don't want to make any assumptions?
1: Xylene - what do I apply it with? Do I just apply it? or do I rub it in? Rinse?
2. Seal it with what? and how should the sealant be applied?
I figured I'd be taking everything out of the cabinet and removing the metal parts from it. I just did the side of the backbox to see what effort decal removal took.
Thanks for the advise!
Xylene, gloves, get the cabinet side you're working on horizontal. Dampen a shop rag or paper towels or pour a puddle and spread the product over the surface. Let it sit for a minute or two and it will dissolve the remaining glue. Change the surface of the shop rag or use another paper towel to wipe off the residue. No rinse, it evaporates but you have to wipe off the glue reside. At that point you can fill in any holes, dents or scratches, and fix the corners. Then sand 100-150-220, you can blow/vacuum/tack cloth the dust off. If you are putting the decals on dry, no need for sealer (but it can't hurt). If wet, the sanding sealer will prevent the spray from raising the wood grain. If you use the sealer, light sand 220 and then decal.
