Hi all,Okay, big question? How do I get that nasty glue off from the vinyl stuff inside the boat? I thought, I will just sand it off…nope, turned into a melting glue mess. I know some of you guys have cleaned this stuff off, so what did you use? I wanted to use gas and light it, kind of burn it off…but thought that idea through a bit and maybe not a good idea. Man burns down shop removing glue off boat. Film at 11:00 on DAS Channel 89. There must be something in a can, spray, and wipe off. right.LarrySent from Windows Mail

Hi LarryDon't give up on sanding just yet. I sanded mine with 16 grit paper on a 4" angle grinder and it did the job quickly.I got about 90% of the glue off this way and all the bits of foam. Then I just glued haul liner over the remaining residue. Bob FuchsSV Silentium
Larry, You might try goo be gone or contractor\'s solvent from Home Depot. We used acetone, one breath at a time. Window fan blowing from the companionway and forward hatch open. Take a deep breath, run in, scrub for 30 seconds and run back out. Exhale and repeat. Might not work that well in an closed shop. As an aside we took the new camper up to Newport for it\'s maiden voyage. Nice marina there and close to you. Have you considered keeping the boat there once you launch?

I thought of removing it once but realized it is inert and harmless - better to leave it - I was covering over it with carpeting anyway - not worth it - my two bits - trev v2915 Mystic RoseSent from my “contract free” BlackBerry® smartphone on the WIND network.From: "walt judy brown allore bestvega@...
