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... |

Not to hijack this tread, but newbie that I am, I need to know...... Why do you need to remove the seam sealer? I am getting my car (tub mostly) ready for paint and body work, trying to do as much as possible to save costs, but wasn't planning on taking every little blob of goop off in the hard to see/reach places. Is it rust hunting issue? Does this mean the job I have been dreading and putting off for so long is actually worse than I envisioned?
Back to your previously scheduled thread! thanks MARK |
