If the clear plastic top layer pulls off leaving the colour/adhesive you can remove it with paint thinners or acetone. - John.

Although sometimes the color is imbedded into the wood and will not ever come off unless you cut out the wood[:o]

Gotta love (old) Monokote, wish I had an unlimited stock of it.

lay adhesive tape over a strip of covering, heat it mup, and pull back against itself, the mono will lift, i use 2inch wide brown parcel tape, leave it for a while, press down hard, and go for it
