Last year, I had an issue with my roof. The roof was pulling away from the wood structure below.

With some great advice from Doug I put a fresh layer of 1/8" plywood and attached that to the existing wood roof, then put down new adhesive and my roof was whole again.

Unfortunately, working with my son, he put some eternabond over the nose of the 5er and it's doing something wonky. I need to remove it and do some work around the nose.

I tried to remove eternabond from the nose - and it's just not coming off easily or cleanly

I'm trying to figure out how to remove it completely so I can have a clean "canvass" when I start working on the the nose cap.

Any suggestions would be really helpful!

thanks!

I have heard this works, but still not easy. Don’t use the stuff myself, self leveling Cali will give a better seal and easier to remove.

thanks for the prompt replies -
As directed, i googled and found you heat it, then you scrape it, and once it's completely scraped (until there's almost nothing left), you can rub acetone on it and it'll breakdown the last bit of the adhesive.

At least I was able to have a "clean slate" to start working on putting flashing around the nose and sealing the roof. Unfortunately, this is snowballing into a much bigger problem to solve. I thought I had it solved last summer, but the best laid plans...

Anyway, thanks so much for the help!

Take care,

Josh
