Volks, I have been using a compound called Sikaflex-227 to securely (I mean *really* securely) hold licence plates to the nose of my van so that they don't get knocked or damaged off when I am off-roading. See http://www.fastforward.ca/pl8.jpg for an example of this. Anyhow, I sold one of my vehicles and I have to get the licence plate off before the handover on Friday. Any idea what to use to get this off without damaging my plate ($100 replacement cost) or the vehicle? The compound is rubbery (tire rubber soft) grey/white and it can be cut with a sharp knife. I used only four small dime sized dots at each corner of the plate. Thanks in advance!
