This type is usually dark gray and soft - about the consistency of a
pencil eraser, maybe a bit tougher. It can be removed laboriously with
knives, picks, and elbow grease. But the question is whether there is
some easier way to do this that would leave the underlying components
undamaged. This stuff is used in a variety of places including PCBs and
laser tube assemblies. Both of these are of interest to me. Modest
heat has no effect including immersing in boiling water - it's not
hot-melt glue.


I think you need a tin of grey rubbery stuff remover.

HeHeHe... Do you charge BIG BUCKs for that advice, huh?

And, it probably rots internal organs.....
