486MP Adhesive Removal
-
By the way - I recently had to remove some PEI that was stuck with 486MP from my plate - some good 80% IPA was good at removing.

Hi gtj0,
Just had to do the same as my 16 x 16" PEI sheet came with 4 x 8" 3M sheets and what a mess it became.
I used masking tape, press it down, run a roller over it leave it for ten minuets, then slowly and low to the surface pull the tape back on itself to remove and the 3m mostly comes of with the tape.

I recently recemented the PEI sheet on my printer's bed. I used an orange based paint stripper to remove the old adhesive from the plate- just brush it on, leave it sit for about 30 minutes and use a plastic scraper to clean it all off the plate. After I stuck the PEI sheet down again I added a bead of silicone around the edge to try to seal it. I'll know if it extends the life of the adhesive in about 2-3 years.
