Question about Menards nuclear reactor.

It is a sticker, with a lot of TCL, I think it could be removed

I figured it was I just wanted to check with someone who had one. Thanks Bob.  😄

Chris,

I'm wondering too! Want to do the same thing! Have you tried it yet (Sticker removal)?

Just curious!!

No Fred I don't actually have one yet.

Chris,

Good news.   I have been able to successfully remove the large Oak Point stickers from both of my reactors.   I used a hair dryer set to the medium heat position and aimed it at one end of the sticker enough to loosen it and pull it up and away about a quarter of an inch.   I then repositioned my grip on the lifted part of the sticker and fired up the hair dryer,  aiming it at where the sticker was pulling up from the smoked plastic.   Gave the heat a little time to work and I was slowly able to remove all the stickers.   There was some sticky residue left,  but the trusty Goo Gone with a soft rag removed that with not much effort.   For anyone wanting to remove these stickers,  I would recommend doing it now,  while the reactor is fairly new and the adhesive is still sticky/tacky.   I have a feeling that once these stickers are on there awhile,   that adhesive will take a set,  become hard and be a bear to remove without damage to the smoked plastic.   The heat settings on your particular hair dryer are probably different from mine and you may need to experiment a little to see what setting works best for you.

Excellent!   I have to say it’s kind of like the alien ship it looks better without the signs in my opinion.

Nick,

I have a perfect spot on my New Layout for that Unit! Thanks for the information on removing that sticker! I didn't care for it either! Guess I will order one!!

Thanks again,

Fredstrains
