Removing Sikaflex (Wurth Bond N Seal)

[huzilulu]

How the $&%# do you remove sikaflex from.. hair!!!???

WD40 works for skin, but should I just shower with it now?? LOL...

Apparently I got some of it on the back of my hand, and was not aware of it... it then moved to my hair, and has now dried and made a blob of everything... my wife says its a good excuse to get a hair cut!

Just needed to rant... done!

Side pods going in today... I have drilled holes for the AC/heater hoses, LS engine harness, front/rear clam latch cables.. anything else I should do before sticking them in for good?

Clutch and Brake Cleaning Fluid is good for removal of the adhesive.

You seem to have covered everything for the side pods.

Have you got the fuel tanks fitted? I don't recall seeing photos of your tanks in place.

No, I have not yet tried fitting the fuel tanks - why? Do they need to clear anything from the pod side? The pod sits on this side of the chassis horizontal frame, so I didn't think it could contact the fuel tank in any way...

The tanks have to be in place before the side pods. You cannot get them in after.
Also you probably want to install or at least trial fit the A/C condenser.
Also you need to fit the side grills in the pod before fitting them to the car.

Brake cleaner containing Naphtha is best for bond & seal. Wet a finger with cleaner and get a really smooth finish.

EDIT: my op should have said luggage pods going in today - not the side pods... My mistake

Ah, that makes much more sense. lol

I started on my dashboard yesterday. The rectangular rocker switches are in, as are the ignition switch and side mirror joystick controller. Progress!

If it's not set then Diesel removes it from your hands and prob your hair... Its great for getting off excess once you've riveted all you panels on..

When I managed to get a big blob in the wife's hair (Oh er misses ) we found a very quick and easy answer, well, I did. Big scissors!!!

She were not a happy bunny!!!

Paul and sikaflex brings back some memories of his build!

[huzilulu]

That was my solution as well - cut it off...

I only realized I had black goo in my hair a few hours later, by which time it had already set...
