3M 5200 removal

[Nautibuoy]

What is best used to remove 3M 5200 from an object that needs to have it reapplied?  I just finished repainting the topsides with awlgrip, and now I need to reinstall all the various pieces parts that I removed.  Any suggestions?

Try DeBond 2000.  It is formulated specifically to undo 5200 and the like.

All that is needed is heat from a hair dryer or paint stripping gun. Just hot enough so it can not be touched for more then a passing blow. About 160 deg F. Works everytime.

As well - you may wish to use 4200 or sulfide for bedding deck gear - as you discovered the 5200 is more of a permanent bond.

Another good try is 3M's general purpose adhesive remover.  Put it on, let it soak just a while then take off with more on a dampened (that is dampened with more adhesive remover) rough cloth.  Works for me.
