Adhesive Remover Reviews There’s something to be said for creating permanent bonds. Consumers spend a lot of money each year on glues, tapes, cement, and other adhesives that will bring things together. But sometimes, you want to remove those powerful bonds, and this requires substances that are...

That is more a caulk than an adhesive.
I removed it using acetone (in small amounts, on a rag, wearing rubber gloves) water and a stiff nylon scrub brush. Also a small wire brush in circles to get it out of the indents of the non skid.
Slow and careful. No residual damage to my aged deck.

The best polyurethane and silicone remover I’ve ever used is Re-mov. It doesn’t dissolve the old sealant, it breaks the adhesive bond between the sealant and the surface. I use a razor or scraper to lift under the edges, a toothbrush, or a terry cloth. It’s so good I bough a case of it and gave it as gifts to my friends!
I haven’t found acetone, denatured alcohol, lacquer thinner, WD40, or 3M Adhesive Remover to be very effective.
Practical sailor recommends Remov or Boatlife Release. I’ve never used the Boatlife product but it got good reviews from PS.

I think the product is a Polysulfide product. It has the aged brown color of that type of caulk. It was used as a bedding compound on my boat. Low adhesion but decent water intrusion resistance. Only issue was it tended to fail where parts were exposed to stress movement over time. Used on hand rails after time and repetitive grabs by crew to stay on board, it breaks down and water intrudes.
Would Re-Mov be compatible with Lexan or acrylic? I need to re-bed some skylights and hatch lenses.
thanks,

Re-Mov is for silicone. Debond is for polyurethane/polysulfide. I use Debond a good bit. Follow the instructions.
Both are compatible with polycarbonate and acrylic.
Substitutes are a weird subject. Notice it does NOT say on the label what it is. You can Google the SED and I recall it is acetone with a little ethyl acetate.
Debond is better.
Home Depot's MEK substitute (Klean-Strip) I found is primarily acetone per its Safety Datasheet attached:
Klean-Strip 1 Gal. Painter's Solvent GKSP95000SC - The Home Depot

Acetone will destroy acrylic.
If none of the other solutions work try Easy off fume free in the blue can. It contains a plastic safe paint remover. It takes asa and abs plastics back to original film free surface. You may luck out and have it dissolve the glue. If not use it to clean the boat, or any nearby ovens, pots or pans.
