**** SNIP ***** Subject: Removing White Vinyl Protective Material
Guys,
Do you have good shortcuts for removing this stuff?
I have material on the leading edges of both wings.
I've been using a heat gun with a tongue depressor
that has been squared off and sharpened on sander.
The project is slow - I can removed 1/4 to 1/2 wide strip
with each pass. The wood does not scratch the aluminum
but there is a very thin adhesive film still on the wing. I
plan to use MEK outside later this spring to remove the residuals.
(It's -10 here in MN this morning.)
The archives haven't yielded any good suggestions...
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Joe

I use an adhesive remover in my graphics business that works great to remove vinyl adhesive and other sticky stuff. It is safe to use, much less dangerous than MEK or other solvents, although technically it is flammable. The really nice feature of this product is that it is specifically designed to be safe on plexiglas. Contact me directly if you want to order some.
