Must be from my boots. I was thinking of trying tar remover?

Rut the frazzle & use a softish wooden stick to remove the top gooey layer then brake cleaner rest off. Avoid breath fumes if doing it whilst its hot.

Some newer stuff isn't, it says "no acetone" in big letters, my married woman had none with acetone, I had to detect some at the pharmacist. I think fake nail remover all the same has it but I'grand no expert.

other thought might be farthermost common cold (plumber's freeze spray) and choice off with a plastic spatula blazon of device when rubber gets really hard.yes, I vicious foul of the acetone-gratuitous nail varnish remover. my youngest was putting an airfix model together and got something in the wrong place so immediately looked for boom varnish remover to break the glue down. took me ages to realise why it wasn't working...

I take a similar trouble although non condom.
Basically I managed to drib a micro fibre textile whilst cleaning around the headstock, information technology and so somehow dropped down and landed perfectly on the header of my lovely Akrapovic evo total titanium organization :Facepalm:

I grabbed it quickly merely it's left loads of small blackness bubbles of what I can only presume is melted polyester.

What's the all-time mode to deal with this almighty catastrophe?

Run the bicycle upward to temp and scrape with wooden spatula?

Would that offset spreading information technology around, how else could I tackle this i?

Well then far I've got a wooden spatula out in the garage before the Mrs notices, I'm also looking around for anything aluminium, brass or copper.....Can't remember of annihilation I tin use other than an empty beer tin can
I guess a Stanley bract is too harsh?

I'll likewise have to wait a while earlier starting her up considering of the neighbours
Oven cleaner?
I've never tried it myself, but some of the broiled on gunk information technology shifts in ovens is very similar. It could be very aggressive, so I would suggest trying on an unseen expanse 1st.
