[Idle Days]

Any ideas regarding Sikaflex removal from a painted roof, apart from using their very expensive 208 remover?

I have only ever used the remover. If you are planning on a repaint you will only regret it if you use something else and end up with a dodgy finish

Find out what the 208 remover is. It will be a thinners of some sort, white spirit, cellulase thinners, acetone etc. The label on the can will tell you. Or find the Coshh regulations.

A complex Hydrocarbon compound.  The formula is in here https://echa.europa.eu/substance-information/-/substanceinfo/100.130.209

 

Looks to be mainly Xylene with Benzine.
