Had to re do a bodged 'boxed in pipes' today. Old boxing in had been done by a Gripfill junkie, loads of it all over the unpainted pine architrave next to the boxing.
Bugger to get off! Cut most away with a Stanley knife & scraper. Hard to sand because it seems flexible like caulk.
Anything that will dissolve Gripfill?
Semtex, C4 [not the Sinclair variant]
The ONLY thing I have ever got it off with was an old Skarsten Scraper; not even sure if they still make them though.
They are still available, Faithfull tools do a lookalike, they don't do old ones though, only new. :o)
