Who here knows a good place for vert top repair/replacements?

I think people just want to do the dry ice thing cause it sounds cool. :|

You can also use a heat gun. The only thing that really takes the film of tar left over is mineral spirits. Works like a charm.

Gasoline sort of did the trick for that, but not really. Wish mineral spirits wasnt so expensive :(

Don't use gas for things like that. One mistake and you will be 5fingers or nobrow.

[5Toes]

Yeah I know, looking back on it I see how many things are wrong with that idea... oopsi

Local gas place has kerosene for sale by the gallon.. might get some

[brutus87]

Glad youre still alive!

[5Toes]

It was in small amounts, but I know that doesnt matter.

God I feel stupid right about now

Driving around PDX with no heater blower motor. Good times!

Live and learn.
And thanks for the new sig!

[5Toes]

Thanks Keith.

kerosene and mineral spirits are about the same, correct?

[Keith M]

I'm not sure.

[5Toes]

Ive read around a bit and people say they are generally interchangeable.

[Keith M]

They are both petroleum based and leave a residue. If you are going to bedline it, I wouldn't worry about getting it spotless. You are going to have to sand the crap out of it and then clean with acetone or preferably a wax and grease remover prior to painting it.

[5Toes]

Oh nice new sig quote.. dude. lolz

[Keith M]

No offense but it was worthy.

[5Toes]

Lol I have a couple of sigs on here.

BrownbeanE30 has me sig'd I know
