Removing Sikaflex

Postby bd-850 » Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:12 am

OK so if you have had a bodykit parts that have been put on with Sikaflex and you wish to remove the sikaflex, i have found the product to use. It also works for Glue ie stickers

How would you do it to those flimsy visors?
Also how would you dare hold this up against the body of your car?

I would use it to get the double sided tape off my car, rear visors stuck fine after I fitted the Di-Noc pillar covers but not the front...... time to Sikaflex the buggers on :P.

its working bloody well, part from my cheap drill and the battery keeps on going flat, but just spin the disc at a low speed and it rubs the glue off.

no damage to the paint what so ever (so far)

They're called "caramel wheels" - for those that want to google about it or find out best way to use it.

I doubt bunnings would have them.
You'd be pushing your luck at any of the "big brand" auto places like Repco/Supercheap
Try calling auto1 or autopro - or some of the other speciality places.

Some don't call it a "caramel wheel" but pinstripe removing tool. Save your time and petrol call the local places first and see if repco/super/auto1/auto/pro and whatever else have it or know what you want.

Here's a how to

:)

...oh and Google some more on how to's .... that's just one i found. :)
