Using less than 2000rpm, and following all other directions, the wheel burned the "substrate " of my motorhome!! I have tried a medium cutting compound and still can't get the brown burn marks out.

The chisel must be held almost flat on the surface; using the cutting edge obliquely also aids he ctting asction. John F |

UH I will mention that I have always had great success in removing the adhesive by first laying on a narrow piece of bedsheet (1/2 inch or so). Due to the adhesive, it will stick in place. Then small amounts of genuine 3M Adhesive Remover to wet the sheet. Let soak (as in keep moist) for five minutes in summer, ten or so in winter. The adhesive will then "plump" up to about four times thickness, to the consistency of thick gelatin, and remove very easily with the plastic "razor blade" I mentioned in previous post. Yes it is a bit messy, but you get all of the adhesive without any possible damage to the wing from a rubber wheel or a chisel. |

The yellow one worked better when rotating at a slight angle (30*?) to the direction of the tape. |
