  • How to remove Sikaflex, 5200, or, silicone sealants!
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Once sikaflex, 5200, or silicone style adhesives are fully dry, the only way to effectively remove them is to do so mechanically - This is the video I wish I had access to a few months ago, I hope it's useful for you!

    I own this tool, and have struggled for two days to remove that impossible crap from my camper to replace the roof sealant around a leaking vent fan. I was using a scraper and razor. As soon as you revealed the tool I smacked my forehead. Gonna use it tomorrow. THANK YOU!

    I’m own a sign shop and when we need to remove signs we use fishing line and in a sawing motion remove the panel from the wall. Then use the multi tool to clean up the left over sika, just like in your vid, saves tons of time.

    I know this has been a year but I have a question. I'm trying to disassemble a bay door on our motor home which is about 2' x 4' and 2" thick. It is framed with an aluminum extrusion which is screwed together and the door itself consist of an outer panel of painted fiberglass or filon, I think), 1 1/2" of Styrofoam, and the inner skin is plastic or maybe vinyl. Near as I can find out, Newmar used Sikaflex to put it together and removing the screws at the corners of the extrusion(frame) basically get me no where. I asked Sika if a heat gun would loosen it and they said maybe but would probably be a gooey mess. The bay doors are in great condition(2003 RV), except for some delamination areas where the adhesive either failed or wasn't applied heavy enough. Trying to take apart to fix these issues. If you have any idea about using heat to make this stuff let go please enlighten me. Thanks, great video.

    Hey Matt, I know this is off topic but what did you use for your registration stickers on your inflatable? Just the standard ones or did you have to buy special ones? Cheers

      Hey mate - I just got regular rego stickers off ebay, but mine were going on the fibreglass console, not the actual inflatable tube. I've seen a few people make a template and spray paint them on - possibly the best way?

    Thanks for the tip. Maybe try saying literally not so often. Just an idea.

    I would NOT use this method to remove Sika flex on an RV, you will totally fuck it up and probably crack the fibre glass too. Not to mention that when you want to reseal your RV with Sikflex you need to get even the old residue off before reapplication. On wood maybe but not where you need a totally smooth surface so it seals well on re application. Sorry pal. Not for me.

      All complaints, and yet no offer of a better solution?
