craigjames Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 when i had to get the material out of my backings, in a pan of boiling water for ten minutes each was more than enough and the material was stuck in with expoxy. like has been said, bung them in the oven, just be careful!

ogre Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 nah backings are thermosetting, they won't die unless you really roast em. i put my pads in the oven and the pad was forced out my the glue melting haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 This is true but the pad may start melting if you leave it in too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) This is true but the pad may start melting if you leave it in too long.But being as they're a thermosetting plastic,They'll take a good while to melt!Edit: you said pad, not backing:$ Edited May 18, 2008 by Benjaminge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 they won't melt...ok...just do it and thermosets don't melt anyway..they burn, which is much more reassuring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
