the debonder didn't work worth a chit on my stock tips.
it cant get at the 5200 to debond it unless it can get under it or between it and the surface.
By the time you accomplish that, half the work of removal is done!
that's the conclusion I was left with. Half a can is still around here somewhere.

Chlorox straight up will soften up 5200. Trims tabs? the main thing is take it easy. Take a box knife and cut into the 5200 as deep as you can. Pour on some straight up Chlorox let it soak in over night. repeat soaking it in for a couple of days. Then get some wedges and drive em in just a little. Remember the key words are take it easy! Go too fast and like Mobilemercman said you'll lift the gel coat too. Anyways each day drive the wedges a little deeper cut what you can and spritz on some more Chlorox. Also the wedges that come with them slimjim kits work real good.
