how to disolve teflon
(OP)
Folks,
I have some teflon that I'm trying to rid from a metal surface. I've tried everything from sandpaper to scraping it off with a soldering iron and wick. How can I dissolve this? Is there a clever way to clean up teflon from a metal surface? The surface is a screen/filter for filtering gunk out of water and it looks an awful lot like copper, but might have a coating on it as well.
Thanks,
BB

Do you trust your intuition or go with the flow?

As they mention, Teflon gives off toxics when heated. One in specific is Flourine. Which, IIR, is toxic in like 5 ppB. Not nice stuff. I once walked off a job site in a laser cutting plant because the owner was cutting 1/2 inch teflon with insufficient ventilation.
