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... |

QUOTE(zoomCat @ Aug 30 2004, 10:23 AM) I saw something called a 'gasket scraper' for the first time yesterday. Could this work? Anybody ever see one of these things in action? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Disp...itemnumber=3309 Yes! that is exactly what I'm talking about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) ,except that is a purpose built tool that probably works better. The air tool I used is the kind the muffler shops would have used to cut pipes off. SteveSr |
