My old vinyl was fairly easy to remove but when I looked at the complex
curves I decided not to apply adhesive over everything and race the glue
to to tight bubble free finish. Instead I did the panel a little at a
time, letting the adhesive completely set up before doing the next bit.
Its been a while so I dont remember how long it took but I think it was
most of a week of letting adhesive set up over night before proceeding
on to the next part.
The project came out really well and I think it would have been a
disaster if I tried to do it all at once.
