Removing Seam Sealer ????
My brother is in the process of getting a Defender bulkhead ready for galvanising. He has have had it shot blasted, but it has not removed the seam
sealer which he has been told makes a mess of the galvanising.
Can anyone tell me the best way to remove this sealer
Cheers
Steve

You aren't going to like this :- hot air gun, sharp chisel & wipe with cellulose thinners. At least that's how I've done it
before - if anyone else know better ... ?

Sharp wood chisel, kevlar gloves, blood, sweat and tears...
Or Central Blast Cleaning, anyone else with an acid dip.

You could try silicon sealant remover to soften it up a bit

Use a wire brush drill bit to get the worst off, then set light to it!

Hot gun will make any kind of scraping a lot easier
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

Cold does a decent job, go down to your local welding supply, get a cooler full of dry ice and rub it over the sealer until it's good and frozen
(you'll need good gloves), then whack it with a mallet and scrape the crumbs away.
