What's the best way to remove this stuff? I tried 3M remover, but it's a pain!

We use this stuff to attach the leading edge deice boots to aircraft. We use a product called Peerco 321 to remove it. Peerco is not so hard to breath around as the other alternatives which are usually Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) or Toluene. If you use Peerco you have to "Bag" it. It is water Based and will dry out quickly, but if you quickly cover it in plastic and let it sit for an hour it works well.

When I have to remove it about once a year, its on a round metal drum. And it is a pain, takes solvent to soften it then I use puddy knifes to scrape it off. Best way I found and I have been removing this stuff for about 15 years. The solvent I use is a commercial strength but aceton from like home depot will probably work just as well.

Clean any surface well with rubbing alcohol prior to applying the 3M tape. That should help.crunchman

Use GooGone or acetone. Let it soak in for a few minutes and it rubs right off.

I haven't tried to remove it yet but is pretty messy. What I did though was put down duct tape on the surface I was putting it on. That way you just have pull the tape up.

Try using rubbing alcohol. I use it for a lot of stuff and I have also used it to clean off the sticky stuff from the back of things. Hope this works for ya.

Let it soak in window cleaning mixture about 5.min (household spray bottles are fine) and then use plastic scrapers (plastic razor blades) to remove it

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.

I used Goo Gone. I sprayed it on and let it soak in for a few minutes, then washed it off.

I would use a clean, soft towel or cloth first. If that doesn't work, perhaps you might want to try plain tap water and a clean towel and cloth to remove it.

Hi Sam- I haven't tried that. Have you tried finger nail polish remover? That's always worked for me!

I think that may be a 3M product. Go to their website and or contact them. Ask what cleanup product works best.

I have not attempted to remove it but I would assume if I were to, applying a little bit of heat before 'peeling' it off with a hair dryer or some such should make the process easy. At least, that's how I am going to approach it when it's time.

I haven't done it, but you might try carefully scraping it off with an exacto knife and/or maybe some acetone. Good luck.

I have the same issue and don't think the plastic can be removed. I'd love to hear if someone has a suggestion for cleaning this area out as well.

The Scotch Naturals polish remover is best. Have patience with it as it does take a little longer to remove. From my experience it comes off more easily after a shower, bath, or washing the dishes. Hope that's helpful!

Try peeling or scraping it off. And then to remove the residue just use household fingernail polish remover.

I would use windex or glass cleaner or a liquid cleaner that won't melt plastic! Obviously, a scrubbing pad and powders like Comet or Ajax, etc. won't work.
