Best solvents for removing adhesives from metals
The best solvents for removing adhesives from metals are those based on acetone, such as paint thinners or diluents for epoxy resins. Acetone is effective in dissolving adhesives without damaging the underlying metal surface. Other commonly used solvents include isopropyl alcohol and turpentine, which are equally effective in removing adhesives without leaving residues. It is important to test the solvent on a small hidden area of the metal before use to check compatibility and avoid damage. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and work in a well-ventilated area when using solvents.
