taking off a deck pad

[scoi]

Just got a 2nd hand board with a deck pad on. Can't stand the things, does anyone know how to remove it without ruining the board

Heat it up with a hair dryer then slowly peel it of, remove all excess glue with white spirits or petrol and a little elbow grease.

Warm it up in the warm/hot sun (depends on where you live... Hot assumes UK type climate).

Peel it off.

Use "Goop Off" or similar (non-corrosive chemical sticker remover) to remove the residue.

Done!

No chance of warming up anything over here anytime soon!

Oh yeah. You are heading into winter, while we are heading into summer

Point is to get it nice and warm to assist the peel-off, which helps to minimise residue.
