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

Nah, it's from Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Blazing Saddles has the "Mongo" "Santamaria" gag.
