step 3. vinyl removal

Yesterday was vinyl removal day. The lr was littered with it. The quickest and cleanest method I found was to zap it with a heat gun for about a minute and then grab a corner and peel away. panels that have been exposed to sunshine seem to give extra problems as I think the UV rays have broken down the vinyl to the point that it's not strong enough to come off in one piece, so I've only gotten about 50% done so far.
