Quoted from alexmogil:I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this product is fantastic. I rubbed with flour and alcohol to the point that I got blisters, but Rapid Tac adhesive remover really did the job. I used a small plastic scraper to remove the old mylar glue and while it was still a chore, it actually came up. And this is on a System 11 game! I couldn't get more than a square inch in an hour using every other method, but this stuff works.
Getting the mylar glue off the old insert plastics on the other hand is still a chore. I don't know what it is about those things but they are VERY hard to remove mylar from. Maybe the glue fused with the lacquer, I dunno. They're all mostly cracked though so I'm just going to mostly replace the inserts.
Now the caveat will be if I can remove all the Rapic Tac off to get good clear adhesion. We'll find out soon.
Thanks for the reccomendation and I'll keep the thread informed.
Naptha removes the rapid rac adhesive remover.
Also, im using rapid-prep before clearcoating.
No fish eyes, no wax remnants, no citrus oil remnants, no glue smears etc.
Its also an awesome product.
It does however remove paint from paint markers, like molotow keyline repairs etc.
On the plus side, it removes paint marker from screw ups...
I use it a lot.
Naptha alone is just not good enough if you are going to clearcoat in my opinion.
After rapid prep i usually wipe down again with naptha just before spraying to make sure its completely dry and wait 10 mins.
