Help! Removing formica glue from cab

Pages: << < (2/2)

Raven..:

Thanks guys.  (I kinda thought the heatgun wouldn't help.)  This is the original painted-on sideart, not vinyl.  Why someone put formica over it is beyond me.  I also don't know why they pulled it back off....

Anyway, I just wanted some other opinions before I touched this cab.  Sounds like little chance of  saving the art, so it can't hurt to try a "chemical peel"  :)
Guess I'll be ordering from twobits at some point....
(Maybe I'll just turn it into a Galaga instead  ;D)

Bones:

Why don't you experiment a little? Reproduce the problem and do some tests, you might get lucky! 

Raven..:

I tried some things tonight.....mineral spirits (worked a little), acetone (bad on the original paint!), Oops! (worked a little more), WD-40 (it was handy....didn't work of course).

That glue has been there too long.  I'm just going to sand it down...or sell it.
