I think I replied to this already, but you may not have received it. Anyway, and I suggest much caution, use a heat gun. Most adhesives will melt at a temperature that is much lower than paint and the like. You can generally heat up the backside of the material that you want to remove, thus melting the glue, and then pull it away from the surface that it is attached to. Once again, use caution to make certain you don't damage the paint or aluminum.

Afternoon all,
I have a small problem and am hoping someone has found an easy way. I went
to change the wing walks on 904. One side was an old sandpaper material
and paint It came right off. The other side is some type of plastic
material. This stuff will not come off. I have tried three types of paint
striper and one type of adhesive remover. I have used two quarts of
striper. The best any of them does it to let me pull off strips about
one-eighth inch by one inch at a time. The striper seem to work a little
under the edge of the walk. With about four square feet of wing walk, I
would like to find a faster way.
Since the new walk is narrower than the old, I would prefer not to use a
razor blade because I am going to have polish the area not covered by the
new walk. 904 is not painted.
Any ideas?
