Take your time and run the disk down the length of the material on one side, than again on the other... you're essentially CUTTING A V-SHAPE of the goop out From there you can grab it with some vice grips, and you should be able to tear it out, even if in 3" lengths.

Also helps if you're not doing this in sub-80F weather... that stuff is BARELY pliable.
Thanks for the tips! Regarding the sub-80F weather, not really an option in Canada

Got 3 questions:

1. How much roll are you guys achieving? Any estimates on clearance?

2. How easy would it be to damage your fender while doing this? I can be quite clumsy at detail work like this, and getting a dremel at that angle seems pretty awkward.

3. What are you guys using to seal it all back up when you're done rolling?
