Removing Uncured RTV

[James W]

I read the package and it warned that some contaminates will prevent cure. Guess what? They include the double sided tape I used to hold the parts.

The molds are usable but I need to get the gooie (gooey?) RTV off my masters.

What will cut the RTV and not harm my styrene parts???

Try isopropyl alcohol, let the parts soak a while and it should come off. You might need to soak once wipe parts refill with clean alcohol and soak again. hope this helps.

denatured alcohol might also work

Thanks Ron, I had tryed rubbing alcohol without much success. I'll try soaking like you suggested, if that dose not help I'll get some stronger stuff.
