Removing sikaflex
I need to remove some sikaflex/silicon/black sealing gunk from a cast alloy (Alu?) part without scraping or scoring, anything that will dissolve/remove it?

i stuck a rev counter on my tiller arm with sikaflex went to get it off without scratching the paint used a hardwood sharpe wedge brought it all off except for a smear just cleaned off with a rag no scratches the last bit should come off in your case with a solvent acetone,tolulene etc
