    Not sure how 'liquid nails' compares to sikaflex but I've had success removing thin coatings of what I believe was 'liquid nails' from a painted aluminium surface. I used a citris based de-greaser available in aerosol from Whitworths Marine. Spray it on, leave for a few minutes and scrub with plastic scourer and rinse. In my experience most came off first go with the remainder coming off after a few goes. The paint had some minor scratches but that was due to the abrasiveness of the scourer.

    A few notes:

    Aluminium is a bugger to bond to. Most things will be bonded to the paint that is on the aluminium.

    Liquid nails is NOT sikaflex The likes of "PRO" or "11FC" are polyurathane based and bond, seal and flex 1000 times better than liquid nails (most good carpenters dont use it on timber, it has NO place on a vehcile)

    Fein, the german power tool company make a tool called the "multi master" and another called th "super cut" They pretty much paved the way for electric oscillating tools. Think the type of cutter they use for removing casts from broken arms/legs........there tool has many different attachemnts, they make a huge range for the auto windscreen industry.

    Sika is awesome...............untill you either did not prep correctly, or you need to remove it. Knives, scrapers and petrol/acetone is about all you can do.

    It does not stick to plastic and bare aluiminum unless these have been etch primer with the appropriate primer.

    you will get it all over everything no matter how hard you try. You will find some where to whipe the excess well out of way and that you wont touch......you WILL end up putting your hand in it

    I put it up there with Denso for most annoying products to clean up.
