Un-Hesive

Postby Hoosier » Sat Sep 10, 2016 9:46 am

From a thread started in 2010 on the OLD FORUM at

http://continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/017729.html

I found these remarks:


Has anyone tried this new product yet?
http://www.un-hesive.com/

From the website:
"Un-Hesive is a patented product specifically designed for the removal of cured polyurethane adhesive residue from the use of sealants such as 3M 5200 Marine Adhesive Sealant and Sikaflex. When these sealants are used to add hardware to your ship's deck or make a repair, the cured adhesive could only be removed mechanically. Un-Hesive breaks the grip of these polyurethane adhesives without material breakdown. The product can be sprayed on and just a few minutes later the cured sealant can be peeled off intact with no damage to the surface."


When the thread ended, six years ago, there were no user reports. Has anyone tried Un-hesive? How did it work?

The website link from 2010 still works. That suggests to me the company making Un-hesive has been selling it for at least six years. And that suggests to me that it works. It would not be reasonable for a company to keeping producing, promoting, and selling a product that did not work.

True, but we still don't have many (or any) reports from the field about how the stuff works. The cockpit floor on my 23 WA was glued down with 5200 by a previous owner and I am quite interested in knowing whether the stuff works.

David--have you tried searching youTube? I know you are are youTube-er, and you've probably done so.

ASIDE: I recall you pointing me to a video of preparing a Sheepshead for the skillet. After trying it I have not been giving all of mine away.

Aside: I think you could make a rather good adhesive from Sheepshead, too.
