jbultman Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Hey all, I’ve got a 2011 that I’ve put silicone carbide on the grip. After using it for a quite a few years I would like to redo it Any ideas on how to remove the current silicone carbide and jb weld? Grind it down with a Dremel? Thanks J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk4364 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I have removed silicone carbide from 3 grips, started with a dremel and ended up using a small flat head screwdriver, and different picks. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kk4364 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I thought it was worth it, just to have a few different choices. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racinready300ex Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I've done a couple, I used a dremel with grinding stones. I nuked several of them before I got it all off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 belt sander with a low grit belt and paying very very close attention so I didn't reprofile what I'd already done the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk4364 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I would suggest using a dremel with a pretty robust tip just to get to the plastic. Then, pick away and scrape away. At least that's how I did it. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMP Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Not applicable to polymer, but I just stripped a set of G10 grips in ten minutes. Carefully use of a propane torch to soften the epoxy and an old knife. Hold with gloves, move the flame over about half the grip quickly until it starts to smoke and start scraping. You will not hurt the G10 at all. Clean up with some sand paper and start over. I just redid a set of cheap G10 grips for my Shadow 2 in 36 grit I had previously done in 46/70.
