a few weeks ago it seems a gum leaf must of been stuck to the bottom of my JP FSW when i put it in the board bag, and now it has a leaf inprint on bottom, i want to put this board on buy and sell and this leaf print looks a bit crap.. i ve tried diluted boat cleaner which cleaned the rusty bottom really well but didn t take off the leaf...
any ideas would be great.. surely this has happened to someone B4..

The solution is quite obvious. Use Eucalyptus Oil!!

Not sure if you're joking or not, but it's probably a good idea. Eucalyptus Oil is excellent for removing other stuff, particularly sticky stuff left by sticky back stick-on stuff. (Stuff, did I say that?)

Another possibility, but I'd be very careful trying it, is acetone. I've used it to successfully remove otherwise immovable stains from things, but it does eat some plastics.

I'd leave it, the leaf is now the only thing remotely Australian about that board..

But the quickest way to get it off, along with the 'yellowing' that some boards get is to hit it with 1500+ grit wet'n'dry..

Or, if thats a scary thought, then you could use Jiff, which will just take the same layer of paint off anyway..

This stuff..
