Shoe-Goo
 
I have a servo I need to remove from a graphite chassis that is shoe-goo'd down, any suggestions?

:lol:

I remember prying my esc and servo up like that going " please, please, don't break, don't break." POP :cry: I stopped using that a while ago, I went to hot glue, does not work nearly as well but if done right it works great and really ez to remove.

I found an old post from 2005, I used Goo Gone. I let it sit for about an hour and it pooped right off.

Your going to like this one :)
Try extra strong cotton covered polyester button and carpet thread :nod: Use it like a saw pulling it back and forth with something on the ends so you don't cut your fingers when pulling on it. Take your time and try not to cut to much at a time.

LOL. The Goo-Gone worked perfectly. I don't think my wife would like a bare spot in the carpet.

I 've used an Xacto with #11 blade and just work around, getting theblade deeper and deeper. Takes a few min, but it works.

I've got one thats epoxied in place - not going to work for that, going to be a new chassis if that servo ever breaks, lol! I got tired of watching servo move regardless of what I did, It doesn't move anymore!

heres a tip, Goo-gone is xylene, So if you know anyone that works in the vinyl decal/graphics field, you can get it cheaper. Dont get it on your face:eek: or eyes:cry: There is actually something better than xylene but I can't remember the name of it for some reason.

LoL Probably, I can never remember the name of it, I think it starts with an R but for some reason it's always on the tip of my tounge. It is much more harmful to the skin than xylene though :nod:
