I have a project, where I want to replace part of the hood and deck skin. Looking for the best method to seperate the skin from the under framework. Any help would be appreciated, thanks------------------ Just can't leave well enough alone!!</TD></TR><TR Class="HTMLAltCol1"><TD valign=top>Tha Driver</TD><TD>Use a gasket scraper or similar very thin putty knife.

Or Maybe some solvent? I am sacrificing the skin, so I could just cut off the edges, where the overhang is. Giving me a straight shot between the layers. Does it pop off in one piece, or does it tend to break up ?</TD></TR><TR Class="HTMLAltCol2"><TD valign=top>revin</TD><TD>Heat or cold will not help</TD></TR><TR Class="HTMLAltCol1"><TD valign=top>Tha Driver</TD><TD>It pops off surprising easily once you get started. Just be patient & drive the putty knife between them, working your way around. ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver" <A Class="HTMLBodyLink" HREF="http://angelonearth.net/customfiberglass/" TARGET=_blank>Custom Fiberglass Parts</A> </TD></TR><TR Class="HTMLAltCol2"><TD valign=top>STARpower</TD><TD>Thanks for the info.
