Removing Sealant
Removing Sealant
(OP)
Does anyone have a technique that I could use to remove sealant from a skid rail that is used to bond two surfaces and in between the 2 two bonded parts is a carbide rod, so I have to be careful about separating the two parts. I'm looking for something chemically that can help loosen or dissolve the sealant but not damage the carbide rod.





RE: Removing Sealant
Sealant ain't just sealant.
You will need to identify the type before a suitable dissolver can be found:
Silicone?, polyurethane?, polysulphide?
Is it an aircraft application?

Sealant or ADHESIVE? Type [P/N] is very important to know!
Also IF the material is in a fay [mating surface] then the process is far more complex.
