Removing Silicone Adhesive?
Anybody got a trick/technique for removing something that's glued
in place with silicone adhesive? (like the stuff they use to hold fish tanks together). Stuff *really* holds up.... I had one flat piece that I managed to get loose with a thin paint scraper. But I've got another one (a bow snitch) that's bonded to a series of 3-D curves and it doesn't look to me like it's coming off with any means that I currently know of. I think heat is out of the question because both parts are fiberglass/poly resin. -- PeteCresswell |
