I picked up a set of steel flares on the last group buy. I have previously mounted FG flares, but decided I was never going to be happy with all the FG and body filler.

The problem is that I mounted them really well using West System products.

I would like to remove the FG flares without damaging either the flares (so I can pass them on) or metal underneath, or at the very least not damage the metal.

Any tips?

Thanks,

Ben

Heat gun and a few putty knives.
Bondo will get soft using a heat gun.
Epoxy will also...watch out for fire...

And, as I learned today while rolling around the garage floor in an effort to put myself out, so will seam sealer that you leave harmlessly lying on the floor (while spot welding that LAST hole shut . . . )

Great. I already have a certain reputation with the significant other regarding fire.

I assume I will also get to enjoy the added feature of toxic fumes.

Thanks for the input.
