Seem sealer removal (R4 1971)

[BlueNET]

He everyone!

This is my first oldtimer resto so I'll probably be here more often to ask questions to you guys.

I am finding some kind of seemsealer (not sure if thats the correct word as i am not native english speaker) all over the car where in certain spots it even covers the bolts unfortunately. Thats making it difficult to pull the cars apart.

Can you guys tell me if there is some special product or way to remove this?

Thanks in advance everyone!

Ps. I attached a picture with one part of the stuff just to be sure i didnt explain it wrong

You are correct - it is seam sealer. Scrape/cut/chisel is all I use to remove the stuff. Angle-grinder with wire-brush fitted might help, but is messy! Best of luck.

Thanks, I was hoping some miracle product that would devolve it. I guess it needs to be done the hard way

A heat gun softens the sealant allowing a blunt knife underneath.
