OT, removing adhesive

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Bought a replacement tailgate for my Dodge pickup, and there's a vinyl strip about 7" wide at the bottom that was coming lose, so I removed it completely...not too hard to do.
But there are numerous adhesive bands about 1/2" wide in different places that stayed on the sheet metal.
Tried soaking them with WD-40 and used a wooden paint stick to try to scrape them off.  Even tried some "Goof-Off".

It looks like a long laborious project....not making much headway.

I dont want to get the clear-coat or base-coat messed up, otherwise I'd try lacquer thinner.
Anyone got suggestions as to removing this old stickem stuff ?

	Ask the folks at a local auto body supply store. There should be a product that will do what you need.
	Why is there never time to do it right the first time, but always time to go back and fix it?

	Try nail polish remover or if it is bare steel, paint remover.

	Acetone should do it. Try it in a lower spot on the truck. I don't think it will hurt the clear coat. I used it to remove dried on pine sap and that stuff was sticky.

	OK, thanx for all the suggestions.... I've got some acetone that I could try tomorrow.

	Way to go with the acetone, it is the active ingredient in nail polish remover.

	Whoa with the acetone, That is not good advice. Use 3M or SEM adhesive remover, buy it at an auto parts store or auto paint store.. Always use the most gentle product first, then if your in a hurry or getting good results is not at the top of the list you can use the harsh stuff.

	Carb n choke cleaner takes off most automotive glue. Must have acetone in it.

	I have had to remove lots of labels in my job over the years and the best thing I have used is De-Solv-it. The only place I can find it is at Walmarts.
	God bless our troops and the United States of America. Pick your rut well, you may be in it a long time.

	Gatz in NE i have try these you can try a heat gun ( hair dryer ) i find that when you get the heat right you can wipe it of with a clean rag or you finger but it get hard on the skin that way. keep your heat ahead of your working , you can also get an eraser you put in a drill from the auto paints store that is made to take off pin striping HTh B:-) Dnoym

	3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover. You can get it at auto parts stores. I own a sign shop and install and remove vinyl decals daily and that is the best product I have found for removing the glue residue.

	Forgot to add, If you need to remove the decals, use a hair dryer, not a heat gun, the heat gun will get the decals too hot and cause them to stretch too easily and can possible blister the paint or warp the metal. There is also a grinder available that has a 4 inch rubber wheel that grinds the decal and glue off without hurting the paint but they are pricey so unless you have a lot of use for it, they are not something to look into. The grinder is around 400.00 and the wheels are about 30.00 each.

	Here is a link to the grinder, it also has rust and paint removal attachments available. The eraser wheel that is available for this tool has rubber "fingers" so you have an air gap to keep the metal of the car or truck cool. The eraser wheels that you can get for a drill are a solid rubber disc and must be used with caution to keep from bulding too much heat on the working area. THis is the air powered version, there is also an electric version available but is not variable speed where as you can vary the speed of the air powered one which helps on removing decals easier. http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=yes&tool=all&item_ID=76499&group_ID=13078&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog

	I use a product called "Unstik" Adhesive Remover. It's a product used by picture framers to clean glue from photos, prints, etc. It's very easy on the item being cleaned. You can get it at picture frame distributors or even a retail frame shop could get it for you.

	Try eucalyptus oil. It is a very good adhesive remover. Shouldn't harm the paint work. Not sure if it is available in the US.

	I use peanut butter. Leave it on for about an hour--doesn't matter if it's smooth or chunky.

	Went to local autoparts store and bought 3M's 08984 General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner. At first I thought it wasn't going to work too well...didn't seem to be disolving the adhesive. After soaking the sponge(?) strips and keeping them wet for about a half hour, the strips came off .....with a lot of elbow grease. Then I used the same dulled putty knife to scrape the adhesive off. Took some time, but got it all off; even got the dealer's decal & the ID number that the wrecking yard used. The adhesive seems to spread around alot, so I had to keep replacing the wiping cloth.
