Well it seems that someone decided to leave an open tube of loc tite sitting on my rear hatch The cover was on, so it soaked into the cover, and when I removed it, the cover stayed behind. Is there anyway to get the loc tite to dissolve without hurting the paint? I'm guessing the answer is no, and that I'm going to have to remove as much as I can, then wet sand the area down. This is on a base coat clear coat paint job. It was the clear general purpose stuff.

 

I would try contacting the Company that makes Loc-Tite Permatex? they might be able to help?

 

They make loc-tite remover....I've used it before but I am guessing it will also remove your paint too.

 

well I know that heating a bolt with loc tite makes em come right out, maybe try a hairdryer like you would on pinstriping removal?

 

I somehow doubt the heat from a hairdryer will break down loc-tite.

 

The heat may work Loc-Tite will soften at 300f, will the paint take that temp?

 

I work at Home Depot and we sell the stuff. I'll ask a guy in the paint department and get back to u.

 

That would be great. So far, I've been able to get all the black marks from around the main bit by using compounds.
