betsythebeast Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I've started stripping out the backseat area of my 510, and I'm having trouble removing all the last bits of fiberglass insulation that are attached to the chassis (there was some under the vinyl liner over the wheel wells, and there were some rectangular patches behind the bench seat). I think the 44 year old adhesive is to blame. Has anyone had any luck with solvents that don't damage the interior lacquer paint, or am I really limited to heat/cold application and serious elbow grease? 1 Quote Link to comment

thisismatt Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Dry ice can be used for the sound damping material on the floors, but this guy is asking about the adhesive used to glue the coverings over the wheel wells, etc. You might try a citrus based glue remover (not paint stripper). WD-40 or similar may also work. 1 Quote Link to comment
Profile Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Gas in a small bottle with a small spout. Lay a rag on the glue, wet it with gas, let it sit for 10/15 min and wipe it off. May take more times but it will not hurt the paint. 1 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Chopsticks eh? Why chopsticks? Because they are wood and natural non thermal conductors. Also they are free with your lunch! Unless you are addicted to Burger King. You can get serious frostbite if you contact any very sub zero remnants after using dry ice. 1 Quote Link to comment
maswov Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I like the citrus based solvent idea. I have some pure orange oil that I initially bought for soap making but found other uses including dissolving old styrofoam to make a glue and cleaning my bong. Quote Link to comment
