Removing Hondabond from crankcase is there a better way ?

robvangulik:
Not for this use, I use MEK for repairing ABS fairings and the like.
Just buy some gasket remover, it's made for the job! And for very very resisting stuff Tri(chloorethyleen) helps some too, is just as nasty stuff as MEK btw

My brother Paul has a mate who used to work at Silk Engineering in Darley Abbey - he sold his "Silk" to a buyer from Germany.
Anyway I digress he said he would ask him about a suitable solvent for Hondabond type sealants - he always used Methylated Spirits.

I decided to try again with some Meths using a dropper to build up a meniscus of fluid on the casing face - as the Meths started to evaporate I replaced it with fresh making sure it did not dry out completely. After about three minutes I noticed the edge of the Hondabond start to curl up. I then rubbed the surface with a soaked duster and it came off a treat in large chunks.

Off out today to buy some more Meths as my old bottle is now empty.
