Oww thanks heaps mate. It looks like it will act as a big sander and just burn the stuff away to a dust.

These pin stripe removers or 'caramel wheels' are available from any Autobarn in the paint & panel section. I can't remember if they were $10 or $15 but definately no more that $15 max.

ummm, sikaflex rubs off with your fingers. it hurts after a while but your fingers dont cost 15 bucks and they grow back

 

[lclynch]

haha its only $15 and its quick

Yepp it burns the sikiflex away to dust...works good as! Just remember not to keep it on one spot for too long otherwise you'll burn away the clear coat on the paint.
Have a look at how i went:
