Removing Bathtub Appliques

RE: Removing Bathtub Appliques By Karen (Guest Post) If the tub is porcelain, do as above and use a razor blade and then Softscrub or Comet or some other cleanser to remove the black marks that will ensue. It's possible that a sponge with a scrubbing pad and some baking soda would do it. There is also something called Goop that removes any kind of sticker and is really nice to have for other adhesive removals. Not sure about any of this if your tub is vinyl. I'd look for the goop stuff and see what it says.

My appliqués come off easily, as the glue is drying out. A hair dryer may dry out the glue and make removal easy and nontoxic.

It remove adhesives and much more, use very little on a cloth.

If that doesn't work, try using a heat gun first. Once the rubber part is off, clean the sticky stuff that's left off with a solvent. Then clean the tub with Soft Scrub.

I originally thought that I had read that it was porcelain...but as I re-read the original post, it doesn't say what type of tub it is. If it's not porcelain DON'T use the pure acetone on it! Acetone will also dissolve acrylic. I'm not sure about the fiberglass...but, I wouldn't chance it. Other solution...heat gun...used VERY carefully Posted on 10/09/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Bathtub Appliques By Grammy (Guest Post) Just go to a beauty supply store, and buy some pure acetone. Actually, you can probably buy it at some hardware stores. It removes EVERYTHING.

Don't know if it works or not, but worth a try. Posted on 10/24/2001 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Bathtub Appliques I use razor blades. Single edge razor blades. Please do it carefully though and do it on a slant. - Bonnie Posted on 10/24/2001 | Report Spam or Abuse
