Got a bit of Butyl Tape pushed into my non-skid deck.
Anyone have experience removing Butyl Tape from non-skid deck?
Mechanical (stiff fibre brush) and/or chemical (acetone) and/or???
Maine Sail, help?

Mineral spirits and a toothbrush and/or rag should work.

Cheers,

Hi Jalepeno,
An old guy like me would just cover it with another new piece of deck hardware. I'm sure there's something else I could buy.

Mineral Spirits works well as does Meguiars Cleaner Wax, which has spirits in it.... If you used black it may bleed and make more of a mess before it actually starts to get better..

Re: Butyl Tape removal? ....and the answer is...

I had a spot that was there for about 1 year. I sprayed a little WD40 and used a terry cloth towel. It took two applications of WD and about 3 minutes.
