Does anyone know of a Mastic quick fix, removing dissolving rather than cutting,,,

There are products that will soften and remove it but its also good at removing your paint!.
If it has dried hard then it is a lot easier to remove. Just run a sharp knife round then remove whatever part was stuck on, then use the blade carefully to remove remains.
Its better to spend a little longer and not damage anything rather than damaging paint or melting plastic.

top tip.......if you are referring to the sikaflex stuff........try heating / warming the area up first

When I did my chim rear lenses I placed a small fan heater pointing at my rear lens, left for about 5 mins to warm through (not too close or you may warp the lens)........then the sikaflex cut super easy and the lens simply "peeled off"

Using a heap of patience I then used a blunt tea spoon (don't laugh) to rub the old sikaflex off......took a while but meant it as a proper job
