Wire wheeled some of the rear seam sealer...
What is the big downfall to burning it out again? Can i get it to a temp that it peels off? A heat gun doesnt do the trick. Porsche had this scientific-marvel-of-a-pain-in-the-ass in the 70s but they couldnt keep a car from being a rust magnet? blows my mind.

Scraping and judicius aplication of heat may do it, maybe a low temp tourch? just be aware of fire,a dn toxic fumes. you could try some solvents, no idea if that will soften it or not, maybe acetone???
I'd avoid the stron acid / alkaine stripers, as they will be left behind, unless all stripper/sealer is removed,adn cause havoc with the new paint ifigures that acetone, if it works, will at least evopoirate, leing no residue, which would liekly be non-harmfult o the new paint. Wire wheels probably just soften it from heat, causing it to not fly off if you use solvent, were proper gloves, reporator and or fan for fresh air, and glasses, it can be nasty to soak in acetone thru you flesh, and eyes can easy be damged. use car, it will porbably be slow going. |
