Merry Christmas To All!
II have been looking through the archives for the best way to remove proseal. I would like to avoid the use of MEK as it seems like particularly nasty stuff. Is there anything else that that is effective and less toxic?
Cheers
Les

Les,MEK is your best bet..not that nasty just use nitrile gloves and avoid the vapors..its biggest hazard is absorption (transdermal) and use in non ventilated confined spaces. It doesn't dissolve the proseal but transfers it to the cloth used to wipe it off...safety glasses are a plus if you're a splasher!!Rick S 40185

Depends on whether it is cured or not. While it is wet, isopropyl
alcohol works, but not after curing. There is a solvent that is used
for removing it from tanks, but it is very pricey(perhaps $50 a gal).
If you just want it off a tool or part and they won't otherwise be
harmed by a dunk in carburetor cleaner, it will dissolve it.

Probably good for cleaning clecos. MEK is not very effective on cured PRC.

FWIW...there isn't any chemical that can thin or dissolve proseal...MEK allows the sealant to be transferred from the metal to the rag...Denatured alcohol...in the precure stage...or working time frame can clean it but it is not the most practical way to clean up..MEK is still the best and the stuff we used on fighters to wipe excess and clean areas that proseal didn't belong

Yes, there is a variety of chemicals that disolve proseal. I don't
have the brand name handy. See:

also try removing most of it with a plastic serrated knife and clean up with lacquer thinner.

Hi Rob
Your suggestion worked like a charm. The lacquer thinner did a nice job of softening up the proseal so it could be wiped off (after removing all but the surface layer with a plastic putty knife).
Thanks for the advice
Les
