Removing Hondabond from crankcase is there a better way ?

(1/2) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I've spent almost two hours this morning removing Hondabond from my lower crank case half.

I have used Nail Gell removing fluid to slightly soften the remnants then rubbed  with a white plastic pan scourer to remove the Hondabond layer.
It takes me several repeats to get it all off working on a section no longer than 4 inches at a time due to solvent evaporation.
I used white rather than green scourer as it's a softer abrasive so it does not mark the alluminium.

Is there a better solvent I can use such as the silicone one you can buy for removing silicone bathroom sealer?

Nurse Julie:
I usually just scrape it off with a Stanley blade Ted. Removing old gaskets and Honda Bond is a job that Graham let's me do 🙄🙄🙄

Lynx:
I usually find soaking it in petrol before scraping it off helps a lot. Just give it a rub with a rag soaked on petrol first.

Bryanj:
Acetone is cheaper than nail polish remover and is the main ingredient in it

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Has anyone here used MEK (methyl ethyl ketone)?
