Hey yall....Will soaking destroy original decals?.. getting another liberty and going to soak it in that stuff over night but don't want to destroy the downtube decal. Thanks

I soaked a girls Columbia 5 star over night in a bath of OA and when I took the bike frame out the next morning and wiped it down, I just about wiped the whole downtube decal off. Just by wiping it with a clean rag and water.
It also discolored the head badge.

OA will often soften and pull decals off. I don't soak anything with decals that I want to save.

It will also soften pin stripes.
