    Does anyone have a good way of dissolving or compromising a Plexus adhesive bond? I have an two FRP parts bonded together, and want to minimise the grinding involved. Is there a chemical solution?

    You can use acetone to soften the GRP resin to get them appart. There is a solvent that acts on the acrylic in Plexsus though.
