Best Way to Remove Hot Melt Glue?

Hey everyone, What's the best way to remove hot melt glue form the inside of the visor area of a helmet? I am currently replacing my old visor and the old one was hot melt glued into place, so there is a little extra sticking in the areas that I need to the new visor into place.

I put my helmet in the freezer. The hot glue gets really brittle and chips off fairly easy. Depending on what kind of glue you used it should work.

You can also use methyl hydrate. It won't attack the vinyl or hurt the paint. I have been using this method for years to break the bond between polyester & acrylic plastics & good 'ol hotmelt.

I just pick at it and it generally will come off.

Where can one attain "methyl hydrate" ?? Sounds interesting.

You can get it at Home Depot or even a paint store should carry it. It also may be in the camping section of a major store. Some camp stoves use this as fuel.

Heat it with a hairdryer, it can then be easily picked off - BEWARE if doing this to a don post though, it will warp the helmet.
