Just Kidding!
In my experience, I have learned the hard way that you need a good solvent to dilute the glue. I recommend Goof Off TM. The last thing I debadged I ended up making a mess of the paint because I finished the first aerosol bottle of Goof Off TM and thought I could get through the rest w/o it. I ended up exchanging the solvent for elbow grease and paid the price. Now I have to compound/polish/wax the paint in the area of the badge to restore it to it's original lustre.
If you can get your hands on some 15+ lb. fishing line, get it. I tried the floss and it kept breaking. As for the hairdryer, the solvent does what it can do and more. I ended up literally melting the plastic badges. Spraying the area with Goof Off and waiting about a minute does the exact same thing as the dryer w/o the risk of ruining the badge or your precious paint.
