Heat Gun or Hair Dryer

Assuming you're talking about vinyl-type tape commonly used for striping and boat names, try a hair dryer or heat gun.

Striping tape removal

Bob, I have removed adhesive tape from my H33.5 using several methods depending on the difficulty level of removing the tape. First, try simply peeling. Second, try heatin slightly with a hair dryer or heat gun. Finally, 3M makes a removal disc that is make of several laminated abbrasive clothes that is used on a high speed polisher---this does a great job with little effort and minimal time. Last time my boat was in the yard for haul out, the yard manager allowed me to use the disc and polisher to strip the name and home port from the stern. It took only a few minutes!

M-1 Remover

Try M-1 Remover.I think it carries a precaution about using on pin striping.This assumes your stripes are vinyl,not painted on.
