A Paint Thinner dampened rag and a bit of patience. Not Lacquer Thinner or Acetone.

With dome stickers, an oily cloth works well. Clean with soap after.

Use a blow dryer on low heat. The sticker should peel right off. If there is residual gunk, use Goo Gone.

I usually scrape them off with a razor blade and goof off or goo gone the rest. use a heat gun if it is really stuck on there but keep it moving and a good distance off the canoe. you can mess up a lot of epoxies by localizing heat for too long.

Benzine from a graphic arts supplier will do the job, however somewhat toxicly.

I fix it with my eyes.. stare at 'em for a real long time and they magically dissapear. This technique also works for dings and chicks, stare at 'em awkwardly for a bit and boom..gone. All nontoxic except the latter might get ya hurt
