Thread: How do you remove VC-3? Anything other than MEK?

    How do you remove VC-3? Anything other than MEK?

    I see on the website MEK listed as a solvent. My local hardware store doesn't carry it and I can't find it online in small quantities.

    Is there an alternative method or means?

    Real MEK is just about unobtainium anymore... I had some success with plain old acetone and VC-3. I suspect MEK would work better.

    No wonder the manager of my local hardware store laughed when the staff member asked him. lol

    So a company rep told me acetone and the MEK alternative works.

    A lighter works pretty well, if there's nothing that can be damaged around it.

    Smells good too.

    One of the best ways to free up a fastener is to use a soldering iron on the head of the fastener itself.
