I believe lacquer thinner will remove the residue from the numbers. Best to check with the sailmaker but I have done it before and then rinsed it with fresh water afterwards.

Yes! I got a spinnaker from a sisterboat and had to remove its old numbers and put on mine. Sailmaker said remove the old numbers, put on the new numbers then LIBERALLY sprinkle talc on the adhesive residue. Well, I did steps 1 and 2 but didn't have any talc. First time we launched the chute, it didn't fully open immediately because some of it stuck to the residue. Needless to say, I quickly bought talc and covered the residue with it. Works fine now. -- Dennis C.
