Application

Application Information

Removal of uncured material

Remove the bulk of the Sikaflex® residue with a knife or spatula. Moisten a rag or towel with Sika® Remover-208 and wipe off the remaining adhesive or sealant.

Surface Cleaning

Wipe painted surfaces with a moistened rag or towel with Sika® Remover-208. Wet the paper towel with solvent by pouring the liquid onto the cloth. Never dip the paper towel into the Sika® Remover-208 as it may contaminate it! Wipe the surface with the wetted paper towel. Use fresh paper towels regularly in order to retain the cleansing power. Before the solvent dries on the surface (evaporates), wipe it off with a clean, dry, lint-free paper towel. Repeat the last two steps until no contaminants show up on a white paper towel. Do not use on sensitive surfaces such as fresh paints. Tightly reseal container immediately after each use.
