Hey guys,
The dedacciai emblem on my frame is peeling off. I'm thinking of taking it off and re-sticking it. I got the resticking part down, but how do I remove the emblem?

It looks like it is just held with some thick double sided tape. Can I just spray WD 40 on it? What other products can I use?

use heat (blow dryer) to soften adhesive and slowly peel off
