Removing seam sealer
Search did not come up with answer.
I'm sandblasting doors and someone previously used seam sealer along some of the edges. Wha would take the seam sealer off or dissolve it? Thanks, Mitch |

Re: Removing seam sealer
I just scrape it out before blasting.

Re: Removing seam sealer
A heat gun or propane torch might be a big help.

Re: Removing seam sealer
Heat gun, I'd worry about too much heat of even fire with a torch.

Re: Removing seam sealer
Pooch is absolutely correct! The only good way is to scrape it or pick it out. sometimes when it has been in there a while and it is old it will harden. That makes for an easy job on cleaning it out. I work with the stuff everyday. Nasty!!!

Re: Removing seam sealer
Drill with a wire brush in it works well. Taken off tons of it.

Re: Removing seam sealer
Yes I like Curt's idea. A cheap wire wheel in a drill, keep it very low speed and the sealer peels off with no metal damage.

Re: Removing seam sealer
Curts idea is best for speed could use a harberfreight grinder with a stiff wire wheel. Works good for me ..

Re: Removing seam sealer
I use a cheap grinder with an expensive twisted wirewheel --the cheap wirewheels shed too much.
