How to Remove Hot Glue (Silicone Glue Gun) Without Using Heat or Thermal Methods?

Hello, maybe a little off-topic question, but I didn't know where to put it. Namely, I have a problem with silicone glue for guns. ie the heated one. How to effectively get rid of it ?? maybe there is some relationship to which it reacts and can be effectively removed. I will add that the thermal method is rather not part of the game.

just try to scrape it gently with a knife I know from experience that the cheaper ones do not hold too tight, so it should come off easily.

sticking terribly does not help any scrapers. maybe there is some solvent to play with this.

Toluene (universal solvent), acetone (nail polish remover), or nitro can get it off the hook, only they can dissolve everything else. I myself have not had a case where tearing off did not help. Maybe write more or less what's going on, then you will come up with something.

Glue from the glue gun is not 'silicone' but usually waste polypropylene. It is resistant to all solvents, unfortunately only mechanical removal is possible.

If possible - heat gun

the glue is placed on the powder coated surface. So sunbathing is unlikely to be an option. and everything is so stuck that it is impossible to scrape it without damaging the varnish.

This can screw up the glue upwards and peel off the glue, it usually helps.

I still fought with him but he starts to stratify. And it looks even more nasty.

It then proceeds at the heat gun, away from the object so as to obtain the glue melting point.
Heat guns with temperature control are convenient.
I used to stick elements in this way, you can remove the liquid glue with a thin, flat wood or a spatula, and the remaining thin layer of glue is perfectly pulled off with your fingers (unless the surface was porous and the glue penetrated it).

I suggest using a solvent for DPR adhesives used in car bodywork. Such adhesives are produced by the FUH DARO company in Kępno. are of different pack sizes. Available for purchase on Allegro:
3.1.18. Do not send links that will cease to be active after some time. This will make the discussion meaningless.

Let the solvent not dissolve the varnish. I suggest removing the glue mechanically as much as possible with a wallpaper knife or a razor blade, then apply the fabric and iron it with an iron, then try to remove the fabric by tearing it off. On a powder melted coating it should work. In a similar way, our grandmothers removed paraffin from the carpet.

Powder varnishes are quite sensitive to solvents. I found out about it myself when I sprayed WD40 on the bolt next to the slide and the varnish turned darker and became sticky, dried up after about half a year and the color remained.

Powder coating takes place at a temperature of 140-200 degrees. Tremogglue melts at a much lower level, so the thermal method does not have to be harmful to the varnish.

Normally it goes from nitro, but you will play with it longer because it smears and to be absolutely clean you have to play a bit.
It is better to heat up the thick layer with a dryer (it does not even have to be a heat gun) and remove it with, for example, a plastic spatula. Wash off the rest with nitro.

If you still have problems removing the glue, I recommend warm water. In general, I dip the part I need to clean for about 5 to 10 minutes. Usually this is enough for the glue to release. You can try to pour a few minutes and try to gently peel it off or undermine it with something (since it's a varnished surface, I recommend something made of plastic). For me, this method is quite effective and I have never had any problems with removing the glue. You can also experiment with the water temperature when the results are not satisfactory.

There is one more way - warm up the element - e.g. put it on the radiator for a while, and when it is warm, spray it with a freezer - the glue should shrink rapidly and it will be easier to remove it due to the difference in stress.

And heating with an ordinary hair dryer?
In not very controlled and pleasant conditions, I found out that hot oil does the job and then the glue peels off quite easily after cooling down, because greasy oils do not stick again.

And I have a trivial way to do this glue.
I cleaned the door sides and all these foam dampers that are under the plastics on the car door, and even under the tenement house on a rainy afternoon, you can handle it without any problems :D

You buy diced butter (no diced margarine, no baking dishes, usually butter in my case was some laciate).
You buy paper towels in the same shop (maybe paper in case you don't have one, but you will have more work and trouble).

You do not need to prepare anything, I took all the cables to one side and let's go.

The method of application is trivial, but rather do not try to wear gloves or other methods, because you will get hurt more and then you just go back home, wash your hands and that's it. When you have glue on top, you unfold the cube, take the big toe and scoop a little. You put the butter on the glue and lubricate it so that it gets exactly everywhere. Nothing complicated, the butter under the influence of heat will start to become a topic and will go into every gap.

Repeat the action until you smear the entire element from which you want to get rid of this glue. You leave it for a few minutes, e.g. go for a cigarette and take paper towels. If the butter soaks the glue a little, then it is enough to wipe the glue with the towels and the glue will transfer from the element you are cleaning to this paper towel. It comes off gently, leaves practically no traces, but if you have something left, you leave it at the end and repeat the lubrication and trust that the result will be better and you will not damage anything, such as heating or sunbathing.

It took me half an hour to figure out how much there is and how thoroughly you spread the butter. The more precisely the better because you will get it done in one fell swoop.

In the end, you wash yourself with whatever you want and the mission is accomplished. The cost is 10 15 zlotys and the glue disappears in the blink of an eye

I will add my method. I pour isopropanol on the glue and after a while it can be easily removed.

it's good to know that with specials, you can also do it, but it is a cheap and safe way, the butter only greases the glue and just comes off and there is no way that there will be burned holes or scratched; p
