Decal adhesive from hell
« on: March 16, 2019, 02:28 PM »
So, I’m building again!  :2funny:

I have come across some decal adhesive residue the likes of which Beelzebub himself would be proud of having shat.   :-\

So, I have tried Nail Varnish Remover with no success.

I have emptied a 50 ml bottle of industrial Acetone, with slightly more success, but at a rate that will require several hours and a litre of the fooking stuff if I am to strip the frame clean.

So, RADsters, can you please help? The winning tip will receive a Wank Sock.  :daumenhoch:

Thanks,

Dirty,

A bit of heat to it works well.  Not too hot.  A hair drier will do it.  Good luck fistblump

Oil works well as a dissolver of stickeyness - rub cooking oil on and let it soak, this is why WD40/penetration oil (not that type ;))works.

Finish with Meths or my favourite IPA (no not that type either)

Can I have a left sock?

Took me 2 days, an insane amount of kitchen towel, white spirit & a wrecked pair of gloves, turned into glue mitts, to get the residue off mine. And that was on a repop frame.

Always used Sticky Stuff Remover  fistblump works a treat
