 Posted: Sat Sep 20, 2008 3:04 pm Post subject: dissolving Lexel |
 |
|
Does any one know if there is any solvent that will dissolve Lexel but
not hurt plexiglass? When I put my tip-up canopy plexiglass in, I
sealed it with lexel across the front to prevent leaks.
My canopy installation is different than most. I have a strip of
aluminum across the front of my plexiglass - I did not lay-up fiberglass
bonded to the skin as the plans suggest. I formed a piece of aluminum
to contour the whole thing and riveted it in. I thought that would make
it possible to remove the canopy which I now want to do for painting.
The canopy is not broken. Plexi was installed 3 or 4 years ago and the
Lexel seems to be holding well - better than I expected. I guess I can
live with painting it with the plexi in place, but I'd rather remove it
if at all possible.

Lexel that is that old and fully cured is a wonderful adhesive and is next to impossible to dissolve with anything that will not destroy plexiglass. I would mask off the area and shoot the paint around it..
do not archive
