I've just taken off a Tecnosel tank pad that I've had on my 748 for 12 odd years.. I managed to get nearly all the old glue off with the help of a hair drier. However, around most of the outline I'm left with a hard residue which I don't seem to be able to shift. I think this is glue which has melted in the sun and hardened many times. Initially I was worried it was laquer, but it seems to be glue, albeit as hard as concrete. I've tried intense tar / adhesive residue remover, without much success and it would take me a year to remove with my finger nail. I'm obviously worried about damaging the paint on the tank.. Any recommendations? Thanks, Nick
Orbital sander, angle grinder or hammer and chisel?.... Failing that, I've used a light application of white spirit in the past with no ill effects...
Try superglue remover, screwfix do it, use it very sparingly and it should come off (it softens the hard glue residue) clean afterwards with white spirit and then polish the paintwork
nail varnish remover basically what superglue remover is but wd40 should do the job clean with neat washing up liquid after works pretty well
Some ppl use white spirits too. We got this stuff called...yep you guessed it "stick stuff remover" from Alsi or Lidl it was. Great kit around the house.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll let you know how it goes. I've already tried a hairdrier and WD-40, but it's stubborn stuff.
