Remove rub rails?
Hello, any body know if i can remove rubrails and handles? I have an old rib that i want to repaint the tubes on, but the rubrail is green. Is their a way to remove the rubrails so i can glue on a new black one?

Some people use a heat gun to soften the glue.
Acetone works too.

Are you painting underneath where the rubbing strake goes?

Well...
I will be putting on a new rubstrake over the old one. What will happen to tube seals? I will be painting 100% of the tubes that are visible.

You mean the tube seam is behind the strake?

Yes, will the heat not adversely affect the structural integrity of the seams?
