Chainstay Protector re-use

[79stef]

I'm currently prepping a frame and am considering removing the chainstay protector to allow for easier polishing.
Is this a straightforward enough task (heatgun/ fishing line to remove?) and importantly, in people's own experience, can they be re-used if they're in a decent condition to start with?
Anything else to consider?

Adhesive chain protectors will usually come off with relative ease using a heat gun.

Don't reuse it, get a new removable one which is far superior to an adhesive one.

Yes, can be re-used just fine.

Can an adhesive one be easily reused?

It's a sticker. No to the reuse.

Yes to the time honoured method of innertube

You can reuse them fine, just re-apply stickiness. Same as you can reuse decals.

Let me rephrase my reply.

No it's a sticker, it's not worth it. Unlike decals where you can't get them again.

 

[Imlach]

No sticker is worth the trouble
