Default recovering

Hey gang, I need to recover the top of a used sig wonder I bought last weekend. How do you guys/gals go about removing old covering? I'm not sure what type of covering is on it now. I'll probably use ultracoat. I'd hate to lose sight of my new pair of wings. Thanks

Friend of mine always swears by a heat gun to loosen the glue and pull it off. My plastic covering never seems to stay down and tight until I want to remove it :P

Ultracote will remove much easier than MonoKote, but for both, the routine is the same: Hit it with heat and peel off.
