Tips on removing JB Weld

[ms71171]

I have a Toysport Triton and need to remove some of the old JB Weld from the inside bottom of the hull. I could use my dremel tool, but I'm afraid I may puncture the hull.

Just wondering if there are any tips out there. Thanks in advance!

maybe a chisel rocking back and forth? dats tuff stuff, unless it was the crumbly kind.

Got a heat shrink gun? You can soften the JB weld with some heat and it will come out plyable. Just dont heat the hull too much. If its ABS dont even try it! But if its FG it can be done methodicly, carefully.

I second the heating idea.

For small areas I use a soldering iron in close proximity to the epoxy/resin/glue/JB Weld without touching it and let it get warm. By using a soldering iron you just concentrate the heat where you need it.
Like John says be careful with the heat, you don't want to warp anything.

I third the heat gun idea... it will definately do the trick on that jb weld too... it is the crumbly kind....lol.... anyway heat it up and use the chisel to get it all.... its a toysport hull too so its plenty thick... but I in fact made a pinhole in that hull doing the same thing you are doing..... I slipped with a xacto though...

If you do decide to do a little grinding with the Dremel, wear a mask. That dust is NASTY!
