FFT- Removal of J-B Weld?

Hello folks,
How does one go about removing J-B Weld from a Slimline Tailcone
retainer? I'd like to reuse it, but I need to get that stuff out of there...
Thanks,

I've used a Dremel to remove J-B Weld from Aeropack retainers. Start with a sanding drum and finish with a wire brush.

Same thing I did on a 38mm slimline adapter and it worked perfect. I also used it to remove some of the plastic in the tail cone of my PML BBX so I could insert a slimline retainer. With the flush fit, you can't even tell there is any motor retention installed.

Where are people finding J-B Weld? Before I resort to mail order, I've been trying to find it locally, and none of the usual suspect chain stores carry it. Any suggestions?

I get mine at Home Depot. I always find it in small tube quantities in the check out line.

I found it in my local hobby shop, near the tools (instead of the adhesives, don't know why). My local hardware store carries it, but again, not near the normal 'adhesives'. If you've got a local hardware store, go in and ask!

All of these would seem to be good candidates that are pretty much nationwide in scope. TSC has a web site that may tell you if they carry it, don't know about the others.

Found mine at the automotive section of a Wal-Mart in Canton, Illinois. If I can find it at Wally's World out in forgottenonia good chance you can find it locally.

I suggest beginning with a carbide carving burr and then a sanding sleeve on the Dremel drum,then the wire brush.
The carving burrs come in all sorts of sizes and shapes,last far longer than a sanding sleeve.Those structured carbide burrs really cut,come in fine and coarse grades.If they gum up,just use a propane torch to burn off the crud.(don't overheat.)

Thanks Alex. Worked like a charm. Wasted my little wire brush, but a wire brush is a couple of bucks, a new tailcone is like forty bucks. At least the damn thing fits the new tube now...
