This is some goop in a spray can. The internet claims that this is about the only thing that will loosen up M5200. Does anybody here have any experience with it and what do you think about it?
I used the debond today on some m5200 glued material and it loosened the stuff with great ease. I wonder if sub freezing temperatures make the m5200 brittle, because it was not so much that it desolved, it just came loose from one side.
5200 is a bugger to remove Reguardless. It’s had its issues at the shop, sometimes it never dries and other times it’s dang near impossible to remove. We don’t use it much anymore. 4200 or 4000 has been reliable for us. Depending on the application we also use lifeseal for stansions and such above the waterline.
These last few days I have been removing parts that were glued on to aluminum with M5200 while the temperature I worked in was well below 32F. To my amazement. all the m5200 came off very easily without cursing, chiseling and debond. I took some of this stuff inside and as things got warmer the m5200 became almost impossible to remove. My thoughts are that the cold made the aluminum contract at a different rate than the m5200 while the m5200 became just a little brittle.
I will no longer trust m5200 to do its job when it gets real cold
