<br> First question: Am I right
about what I am dealing with (ie,
<br>gummy-backed foil, applied to finished surface)?
<br> Second question: Is there
any way such a logo is going to stay on more

<br>something I can do to make it stick permanently? Or should I just tear
<br>the darned thing off, wool wax (or sand with 400/600 if need be) where
<br>it was and forget it?
