GOOP cures in 24 to 72 hours. If you can, remove it before it cures using a little bit of acetone.
Things You Will Need
-
Find a solvent. According to GOOP's technical data sheet, there are a few solvents capable of dissolving GOOP. The most common is gasoline. (The rest are cyclohexane, perchloroethylene, 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, methylene chloride, chlorothane NU, Chevron solvent 1100, propyl acetate, and toluene) If using gasoline isn't your cup of tea, Goof Off or Goo Off may work.
-
Test a small area of the bond by wiping solvent on GOOP. Wait five minutes, and try to remove GOOP with a scraper. Choose an inconspicuous area. The solvent may dissolve coatings and paints.
-
Apply solvent over the entire area using brush, cotton balls or cloth. If there are any gaps between the GOOP and bonded surface, make sure to apply solvent there.
-
Scrape any loose GOOP off. Apply additional solvent as needed, paying special attention to areas where there seems to be gaps developing between the adhesive and the surface.
