Thanks Charlie

I'll look into it. I am bound to get messy with sikaflex again sometime.
Gotta love that sikaflex

I second that, once Sika has gone off (it cures by the moisture in the air) you can try as you will but it won't budge unless you tear/ scrape it off mechanically. For very small smudges try an eraser, it kind of 'rubs' it off but even that takes some effort.
When using Sikaflex keep a rag dunked in turps handy to wipe excess & squeezeout off immediately, their proprietary cleaner might work better but it also costs more.

If using MEK then definitely use gloves. These solvents do a great job of dissolvings oils, greases, etc inlcuding the natural oils in the skin. Lack of protective equipment (gloves) will result in very dry skin, dermatitis, etc. Further, MEK is carcinogenic so be careful.

Yeah spot on Hugh, didn't say it was nice stuff to use :-)))

As with any solvents you have to take care, One to really be careful of is Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide MEKP it is used in the bonded structures areas (carbon aramid fibre / some fiberglass etc) one drop in your eye and it is instant chemical blindness for life !!!

Take it easy Hugh, Brad
