Thread: Removing a stuck canopy

It will be a 291-equivalent bedding glue, elastomeric rather than a 'silicon' like a sealant. Once it starts to go and split/tear, it will keep going and it's just a case of getting it started and keeping it going in the way you want.

As noted, nothing much short of solvents or heat will clean it off but being that it's on a liner that will dissolve or melt at a similar temperature to the poo holding it - your solution is mechanical removal of some form or you'll have a massive cleanup afterwards. Wedging it, tapping the wedge forwards then using a knife or wire to slice the tensioned compound will cause it to just peel apart. It will go, once you get the knack of it it isn't too hard and you'll wonder what the drama was. It's one of these jobs that the hard bit is working out the methodology, once you've got it the actual job is fairly quick. Then once you've replaced the tub, refitting the lid is actually not hard either. A strip of poo on each side, place it down and lightly fit the retaining bolts to hold it in position and it will settle under it's own weight. When the poo has cured, tighten the bolts and good to go.
