Removing decals without sanding??

I didn’t like the paint job on my 1/48 Hasegawa J2M. I paint only with acrylics, so I stripped the paint off in a few minutes with 409 cleaner. Worked like a charm!

However, the decals are stuck firm. Is there any way to get decals to come off without sanding? If I have to sand, I will, but I’d rather use some old EPA-unfriendly chemical-type method if it exists.

Thanks!

Try Windex or Simple Green. You may have to soak them awhile. Ethyl alcohol, whether regular or denatured, may also be a good choice.
