Removing glue for recone?

Ok, I have reconed a few subs in the past and its been a "Female dog" to remove the CA. Anyone have some trips or tricks for cleaning a basket?

I'm guessing a flapper wheel is the best bet...going to try that after work just have to hit Lowes.

I used to use one of the air side grinders, it has a little 1'' or 1.5'' wheel and worked well. It also scuffs up the basket enough to make sure the new glue adheres properly.

torch it off know it sounds stupid but bret and i both have done this and it just melts off

Yeah. I just use a heavy duty razor knife and a scraper and hammer to break as much off as possible. Then a flap disc works better than the stone. Type grinder ones since they actually remove material instead of getting it hot and killing ur eyeballs with fumes

Well I just used a flapper wheel to clean the first basket. I'll break out my torch and try that on the other one.

Yea, my eyes kill me everytime I recone.
I was sitting there w/ a fan to my back, goggles, and a half-face respirator.

acetone takes it right off

Could not help it just to funny

Pretty informative post.

this is what i use to get the glue off then i put a blue scotch bite disk on and scuff the basket up. out of everything i tried this bristle disc worked the best.

will take some of this as some good advice bought some 12 baskets that has some on it an need to take the ca off also. i use GOOP to do my recones plus its easy to remove after i do another one.
but the grindier is the way to go for me too, alsso the heavy duty blade also is one of my faves, an alan you need to stay as far away from blades as possiable for the moment

Ii just spend an extra 5 bucks and get a new basket with each recone, time is money.

If i have to clean the basket, its the 90 degree air grinder

Scott who sells you baskets for five extra bucks? Sounds like they way to go .. Just 12 is the cheapest I've seen

even if they were 20 wouldnt it be worth it???

already spending 85-125+ depending on who you order from whats another 20?

4 days lunch.. 3/4 weeks of gas.. Lol.... 20 is worth it to me to clean . Plus a lot of company like to dick you on shipping. 1 woofer is one thing but 4 adds up. So do you really get them somewhere for five? They are worth buyin to selln
