I know there was an extensive thread on this subject a while back, but I  looked in the archives and couldn't find a definitive answer on how to remove  it.  Does anyone know or recall how to get this stuff off the  flaperons?

  

 Thanks,

I soaked heavy duty paper towels/shop towels with paint thinner/ 

mineral spirits and laid them onto the flaperons for up to 8 hours.  

Do as large an area as you can, and keep the papers soaked. The  

coating will pucker up and almost fall off...or you'll need to rub a  

little.

My memory is that some have had good luck using WD40.

My flapesons were made in 1991 and I peeled off the protective covering

last month after 16 years. It came off easily in one big sheet without

any problems. I know some guys have have a lot of trouble. I stored mine

in my garage all those years, maybe that was the key to not having

problems.

Is this a sticky paper covering?  If so I have just the remover.



When I was in university the security at the university was under the

mistaken impression that they had the right to impound vehicles at their

discretion.  The fact that they had no right at that time to enforce the

Highway Traffic Act didn't bother them in the least.  



I came out one day to find a sticky paper applied to my windshield.  It was

past 5P.M. on a Friday and the security office was closed for the weekend.

Conveniently enough the security on duty didn't have the release agent and

wouldn't have it until Monday morning.  



I went back to the Chem. lab and picked up about three ounces of carbon

tetrachloride the same stuff used in Halon fire extinguishers.  I poured a

little along the top of the paper and immediately to the disgust of the

security watching me the paper lifted cleanly away I held the paper open for

about a minute and then gave it back to the stooges (Curly and Larry) by

applying it to their windscreen..  The van stayed put until Monday morning.



Since that time another act has been passed by the Provincial Government

which gives the University Security Service the legal right to enact and

enforce traffic laws on the university campus.



Remember, try Carbon Tetra-Chloride A.K.A. Halon.  It won't damage paint

either.



The things we did when we were young and foolish.
