BKcustoms Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 If you dip it in water and then freeze it it might start to come apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kucaba Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I've found a couple months in the Purple Pond helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wraith Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I've found a couple months in the Purple Pond helps. MONTHS!!!!!!! Exactly right depending on the glue and the amount of glue! I have a Dodge 4x4 siting in the purple pond trying to loosen the glue and strip the paint but it has not worked yet. Been siting in the pond for almost 2 months. I need to find something a lil stronger to loosen and strip it. But I have had luck with this method MANy time before. All depends on the glue and the paint.
