Levo SL Aluminum. I've gotten most of it off of the area I needed to remove, but now there are parts that are just sticky.

I've tried alcohol with no luck -what have others used?

thanks.

Not that I have experience with the particular adhesive of Invisiframe, but have you tried an adhesive-removal-specific solvent such as Goo Gone?
 
Ive done it on my old Yeti - hair drier and pull back on itself rather than up. Then use normal bike cleaner to get of residue glue/gunk - if this fails, isopropyl alcohol but use sparingly as it could affect the frames clear coat ?
 
Turpentine (terpentine?) is a non aggressive glue residu remover, i,ve used it many times to remove sticker glue residu's on my windsurf sails, works slowly but is not agressive .
 
Idk if this is the proper translation but benzene ( in dutch it's called wasbenzine).
its does not harm any paint and u can use on any material even on clothes.
 
I would just heat it up gently with a heat gun and peel it off piece by piece. No mess, no chemicals.
 
I would try a hairdryer, it has worked on other protective films I have used. Iso-propyl alcohol to clean up afterwards.

But your problem is a sticky deposit after the Invisiframe has been removed. I would try IPA first.

I recently had a pain of a time removing Gorilla glue adhesive from my bike rims. For removal, all the usual suspects were used (iso-propyl alcohol, meths, white spirit, acetone, proprietary "sticky stuff remover", even Sellotape!), all to no avail. Then I used petrol with a rag. At first it didn't seem to work, but then suddenly it just wiped off. :)

They key is patience. I wonder how many of the other things I tried would have worked if I had left them to soak for just a little bit longer?

Safety note: With anything that is inflammable, FFS , do it outside! :eek:
 
This stuff is pretty good it will not remove or damage any paint. Can also be purchased at your local motorcyle shop.

I'm a bald guy and am certain I can locate a hairdryer. Thanks for the many replies.

It was on the bike when I purchased it and I was concerned it was going to easily peel off - I was wrong.

I may try WD-40 as well. Hadn't thought of it until I read thru the replies.

thanks again.

Looks like a nice Brown you have there. I've read about the fly fishing in both Australia and NZ - I am jealous. I could never visit though as I'd never return home.

There are chunks of the deposit that just smear. All the glossy part is gone though. Very sticky stuff.

Pretty sure I "Tried" too many IPA's last night. Now the girlfriend is mad and I can only hope she'll still let me use her hairdryer.

Not bald yet. But headed that way. I always tell the young guys with thin hair. Get new role models Vin deisel/ Jason stathom/ The Rock / Bruce Willis . Or Gary . Basically any tough guy with no hair. Oh and Thanks mate . Yep she was a beauty . Sight fished in river shallows . Hard work and very frustrating. That one i got . Yes I have some great fishing pretty close to home. Tasmania was also awesome. I wanna live there some day for a season. NZ is also on the list to visit one day .
 
I use Wurth silicone remover for anything sticky. It’s an absolute god send! Similar to Autoglyn Tar and Glue remover... except the Wurth stuff is available in the chemical cupboard at work ?

Spray some on, leave it for a minute, wipe off. Job done.

I'll be heading to the hardware store tomorrow...I doubt I'll find whatever that is but I'm sure they'll have something similar.

thanks again everyone.

High Rock Ruti

A strong abrasive like "rocks" has successfully removed portions of mine?

Warm Regards
