It's amazing that this one product can be used in so many different ways. I used it to break a bolt free.
Scott A.
I just wanted to thank you guys for this product. It worked Great! Took about 30 minutes to remove 20 years of 5200. I am replacing a solar vent on an old hatch cover and I didn't think I would be able to get it off without cracking the fiberglass.
