Acetone may work better on the uncured stuff, but much more volatile
and nasty. Mind you I used to slosh it around merrily as a glassware

Methylene chloride to dissolve the cured Sikaflex? I wonder. Its not a
great answer for David as it may do some damage to the paint on the van
and is very volatile.
