Re: Removing anerobic sealant

[billw]

Thanks for the replies so far. I will consider both, although I have come to expect little help from any product that says, "Low VOC." Overnight, it occurred to me that our detailers have some plastic "razor blades." They look like razor blades and fit into the same tools/holders but are plastic. I am going to try score some of them, along with some acetone. (Yeah, I I know I can’t use both at the same time because the acetone will eat the plastic.) I am currently working on a lowly 3.3 Tohatsu-based "Mercury;" but I am looking to improve my general technique in removing that stuff. I intend to add the motor to my collection when done, as a monument to horrible pieces of crap. I think they used the worst salt water aluminum of any motor ever built. Even some of the crank case screws were beginning to corrode in place. I don’t even know how that is possible.

Long live American manufacturing!
