The hair dryer works and it didn't damage the gelcoat. I would do the tape
work and a warm day ie) 75 deg or so. The tape needs to be "squeegied" out
to remove air bubbles once it is laid down.

I have done this and a hair dryer will work if is not cool out and
there is no wind but it takes forever. If you use a heat gun as soon
as you can lift the decal you move on.
