Umlungu and everyone else,

Do you, by chance, use Banana Boat sun block?

A friend of mine does, as do I, but due to his very fair complexion, he slathers it on. The decals on his top and seat tube all "melt" and peel off within a few years. It is the same with several bikes he owns.

I'm trying to determine if there is a chemical in Banana Boat, all sun blocks, or another reason his decals peel. I know he doesn't clamp on the decal area when wrenching but his leg does get close to the top tube decal when standing at lights etc. ...the decals on both sides of the TT melt.
