- How to quickly remove BUTYL residue sealant from plastic headlight lens for custom headlight modification such as angel eyes, halos, switchback c-lights etc.
Thanks a lot for this video! Super simple. I was looking all over for some instructions.
Brake cleaner took it right off. I just wiped it off quick with a wet rag after
🤩🏆You’re so smart. Great idea. Thank you. 💝
Excellent tip, man. Greatly appreciated!
GREAT tip! Thank you so much.
this is a great idea, I don't know how you came up with it, I would have never thought of doing it like that. I assume the towel becomes trash in the process. Trying it today!
If you can't remove the butyl off of them you can trash them or re-use when doing oil changes and so on.
Hello. I haven't tested this idea but how about steam iron or steaming iron and hair waxing strips. As steam heats the butyl material, cover it with a hair waxing strips till it sticks and pull it off while a bit warm. Do you think this idea will work?
Great !!
You can also use steam
I think steam generator could work there. The regular one.
Wouldn’t a can of WD40 a perfect solution? It can dissolve butyl without melting the plastic headlights?
worked great! thank you
I wonder what you are using to reseal where you need to remove the butyl.
butyl.
@@flandrble you dont need to remove old butyl unless its like 40 years old and brittle, if its still tacky its still good, add a little more for a tight seal, thats all
@@garforce2 in my situation dust and dirt build up had collected in the channel the lens sits in, so without replacing it would mean I was also sandwiching a load of debris into the groove which may not seal correctly.
A RV’s hot water would work great because it’s like 140 degrees.
See I had this thought, and it didn't work so well for me. Though, mind you mine was flashing tape with butyl glue backing. I used a hand steamer to try to "melt" the glue. Wasn't super successful.
What did you end up using to get it off?
@@Tonisuperfly TIME, LOTS AND LOTS OF TIME, AND DAMAGE. I never got it fully off. Luckily the one door I had it on was metal and synthetic, meaning I could be hard on it without worry. Where the front door seems to be more of a problem since it's wood. So, no easy answer. I tried the acetone, I tried goof off, Goo Be Gone, and everything in between. NOT MUCH LUCK. Heat no good, can of freeze, no good either.
@@tdata545 oh dear… I’m asking in advance of putting it ON something so I might have to use something else. Works well for what it meant to but yea, getting it off is too problematic.
@@Tonisuperfly I used it during the big hurricane that hit Louisiana in 2020 and was still pretty bad by us on the MS/AL border. I was trying to waterproof my largest windows. Using tarp and the tape. After 3 years the one that was on the bay window is finally falling and flaking off. 70% is still on the siding.
Doesn't work on mine.
Why not put the lens in hot water 🤔??
It's best to try not and contaminate the inside of the lens and avoid any dust and debris as much as possible. I had an issue even with a microfiber towel, the lens had fine scratches that were visible once everything was assembled.
Mineral spirits.
Doesn't that destroy polycarbonate?
Really should only have to have it at about 100 degrees, since that's the weather that melted my lenses off completely. Garbage stuff.
