Taking old registration stickers off the boat and a couple of them left that goopy sticky adhesive residue. I've used desolv-it or goo gone to remove that goop in the past, but never on gelcoat. Is it safe to use on the gel, or is there something else I should look for? ------------- bring the ruckus http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5347" rel="nofollow - 2000 Pro Air |

Adam, I concur with Gary. It's safe and you won't see any damage to the glass plus it works better than those "household" products you have used. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

And 10 times the cost of Acetone from the ACE!!  What's in the 3M - read the MSDS!!!  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

WD40 - NOT PB Blaster. Works well but some residue left behind that dish soap cleans well..... and makes the gel shine like floor wax! Just ask the PO of my project Skier........... (I know the flames are coming because I have NOT read the WD40 MSDS - which BTW, is an antiquated term. SDS is the new term and form for OSHA compliance. I maintain SDS forms for all of the products used in my garage.............just don't read them.) ------------- https://tinyurl.com/y6t5e3bu" rel="nofollow - 04 Air206 http://tinyurl.com/9urzgls" rel="nofollow - 91 Barefoot 78 SkiTiq |

The original poster Pete is not allowed near any gas or electric powered tools. Acetone is even pushing it,water might be a better choice ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Adam I know you have some finger nail polish remover. The old stuff was mostly acetone. Now it's kinder / gentler. ------------- - waterdog - http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=3896&sort=&pagenum=2&yrstart=1978&yrend=1978" rel="nofollow - 78 Ski Tique |

Acetone is awesome on gel. Also pretty good at cleaning paint and dock scratches off there rub rail. But, don't get it on a sticker/pinstripe/painted state numbers. BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |
