Well, I got pretty much all of it out of the engine comp. and rear trunk
Took it out using a small wirebrush on an electric drill Only seamsealer left back there is around the heater tubes (where they come out of the longs) It's pretty impossible to get to with the wirebrush/drill in that location Same for the seamsealer in the front trunk (where the gas tank is) It's tight and hard to reach there Can I hit it with some nasty chemical? Will paint stripper work on this stuff? I'm not a fan of paintstripper, but I'm running out of options here... Any tips are welcome... cheers, Jeroen ps. so far, no rust found under any of the removed seam sealer... knock on wood for what's left... |

You can use a propane torch if you are careful. It works really well if you have access to the backside of the metal that the sealer is on. Heat the metal from the back side then go tot he front side and use a puttty knife to scrape the sealer off. Two people, one with torch one with the putty knife, make it go a lot quicker
