I may be the only person who finds those little paper part number stickers on 

Zenith parts particularly annoying. Sure, I want to know what the part number 

is, but these little beasts attract dirt and grease, and don't like to come 

off cleanly.



In case I'm not the only person, I have posted the method I'm using to remove 

the paper stickers:

This method removes them with relative ease, and even gets rid of the residue 

left by the adhesive.

Just do what ZAC does in the quick-build-kits: leave them on and build them

into the plane

I wouldn't personally do this in my aircraft, for several reasons:



1. Foreign Object Damage (FOD). The adhesive on the stickers will eventually 

release, and the sticker will fall off. When it does, it can jam controls and 

cause similar problems.

2. The adhesive on the sticker attracts dirt and other trash. It can 

contribute to corrosion, some of it  in areas that aren't visible.

3. Weight. An individual sticker doesn't weigh much, but all the stickers in 

the airplane weigh something.

4. They (in my view) look tacky, no pun intended.

Jim,



I find using Lacquer Thinner works just the same too.  I think its just as volatile as MEK though.  



Regards,
