Camper Roof Repair Lesson of the Day: Acetone Only Removes Paint, Not Adhesives

[avionicswirenut]

Acetone creates more problems than it fixes...We use a degreaser / silicone residue remover for auto painting prep...Of course this does not get all of the different types of sealant used on campers...First you must scrape off as much as possilbe and then clean the surface..I use a narrow but thick metal paint scrapper that is sharpened like a razor to scrape..It can be very time consuming especially if patch tape or silicone has been used to seal a camper...
