I'm in the process of removing the fabric covering (ceconite) from my
wings and am now faced with the problem of glue removal from the
leading/trailing edges and assorted ribs.
MEK will disolve it, but with much patience.
I find coating with MEK, letting it sit (unfortunately, it's
evaporating really quickly), then going over it multiple times with a
MEK-soaked non-metalic pad will get the job done.

Is there a smarter way to do this? - MIke


cover the MEK wetted area in alfoil pinched around the edges to seal
as much in as possible. the stuff wont evaporate as much.
