My dilemma: I have two LP palisades park quintos. One is mint with no badge, and one is in rougher shape with the badge. Is there a safe way I can remove the badge off one quinto and put it on the one I plan to keep? These are both LP PP drums from the 70's. Thanks.

Yes: You will need floss ( For teeth ) and a heat gun or a hairdryer. First you heat up the badge to soften the sticky tape and then floss under the badge. I use this to debadge car's with.Get a thick floss otherwise it may break to soon.

I forgot to tell you .if your using a heat gun be careful not to stay on it to long , you might melt the paint.

I used the wife's hairdryer and the process went great. The badge is securely on the keeper drum
