Funkybillyfish Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hi I have just purchased a cooker and I'm very happy with the product but the protective plastic film is almost impossible to get off. Any ideas on how to remove it without damaging the finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamkyong Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 may i suggest getting a hair dryer/heat gun to rewarm the covering to soften to remove just test a small area if successful carry on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 It really should peel off without any damage - that is how it is designed. Depending on how applied you might want to remove knobs to make it easier and cleaner removal process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannot Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 try soaking it a bit in turpentine to soften the glue or place a rag soaked with turps to sit on it for a 15 minutes, personally id ask for a refund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it may have been in storage for a while and the plastic has gone brittle and now simply breaks instead of peels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkybillyfish Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 I've been at this for 45 min! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkybillyfish Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yes that's exactly what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannot Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) I've been at this for 45 min! soak a rag in turps and let it sit flat on the face , ie put the oven on its back so the rag will sit flat, go get a beer for another 45 minutes then re try, makes sure the rag is pretty wet but not pouring wet. Thatll be $25 pls.........for an extra $5 Ill tell you to only use a plastic scraper also Edited June 17, 2016 by kannot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkybillyfish Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Neither of the above ideas worked but rubbing up and down on the outer skin in a vigorous motion has released the tension.

malt25 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Eucalyptus oil is a great glue, sticky stuff remover. Besides most supermarkets pharmacies also stock. Beside the oil, aerosol can also available. Bosistos is one brand. Cheers..... Mal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the sticky adhesive off with turps but some parts had dried up and was like removing paint but rubbing with my fingernail lifted it off.
