Part 1
I've found a replacement for the glue that didn't keep the tiles stuck to a space shuttle, unfortunately you'll need to go back to Opel in 1972 for find the recipe...........
It's whatever they used to stick the sound deadening material to the roof
Zip wheels just heat it up and spread it around
Every solvent in my cupboards has been thrown at it and they all have a similar effect to a zip wheel - ie sort of melt it but allow it to be spread thinner over a bigger area and even harder to remove
It was even stuck to surface rust and I managed to remove the rust but not the glue
A club member suggested thinners and as I don't paint anything yet I think I'll get some and see how that handles it!!!
Part 2
Thinners is for winners......
Had to resort to painting it on, repeatedly and then after it had softened up, using a sharp wallpaper scrapped to lift the majority.
Then apply more thinners and follow up with scotchbrite again soaked in thiners
Hit the surface rust with a zip wheel followed by my last strip disc and I had a surface I could paint. So I did, two coats of primer and it looks so much better.
Painting now because I'm not going to be able to do it when the roll cage is in the way.
High as a kite now.........
Oh and I need to re-paint my garage floor as it appears that thinners is very good at bubbling floor paint...... Needed doing anyway once this project is done.
Poor lighting - crappy phone camera - not my best composition but I know you guys like pictures
