I had an access cover into my gas tank that was held on with pro seal.
I removed it by heating it with a heat gun.  The pro seal started to
give way about the same time the white Emron paint started to
discolor.  I don't know the temp either, but I suspect it was well
below 1000 F. FWIW

What I can tell you is that whenever we'd have a guy fail to purge the mixer properly after an application session we had 2 options... if it was a mix tube with plastic mix elements we could usually press them out with a couple tons of push.  If it was an all steel mix tube with an internal steel spiral mix element we'd take a torch to it and get it so the ends of the tube were just starting to color (ie, probably way over 1000dF).  We could then run a piece of coathanger through it to knock out the ash.  Anything less and the stuff wouldn't budge.  Don't ask me how I know.  (actually, there was a 3rd option that required a long soak in methylene choloride... it would penetrate the polysulfide back about 1/4"and make it blow up like a balloon... then we could slowly pick/brush/blow out the pieces.  The process would take 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there over about a week-long period to get all the way through an 8" long mixer...  it is some very tough stuff.)
