Just removed my silent thunder box and the stock tips from my 98 312 Fastech and want to clean up the holes that has 3M 5200 around them. Is there a chemical that will remove it without damaging the gel coat?

Thanks

Oooh thats tough stuff ..Id scrape the majority off carefully then buff the rest off.

try heat gun

Anti-Bond 2015 from West Marine or Boaters World made by JWB Environmental. Trust me...it works. I used it to remove my K-planes using guitar string and a heat gun. No damage to the gel coat.

mtgbikr, does it just soften it up or melt/disolve the 5200?

The Anti-Bond stuff works great. It will dissolve 5200, but it takes patience. Use a plastic scraper (ie bondo scraper) to help get the big chunks off then put Anti-Bond on a rag and rub-a-dub

Thanks for your help guys!

don't want to be the lone wolf here...but I found the Anti-Bond to be innefective.

especially innefective for the price.

I found heat, a razor blade, and fingers to work well.

No matter what method...removing that remaining 5200 is a b!tch!

on the money he speaks the truth
