| The previous owner removed most of a sticker, but the glue is still on the gelcoat. What should I use to remove the glue and not damage the gelcoat? |

cc,
First I'd like to welcome you to CCfan. Did you just find the site or just new to posting. Not much will hurt gel coat. A methylene chloride based paint and varnish remover will soften it if it's on the gel for a long time but we aren't talking about going to that extreme. I'd use acetone to removed the adhesive. It will be quicker as it will dissolve it better than the 3M remover. The 3M is a citrus based "solvent" that really isn't very strong so it can be used on painted surfaces safely. ------------- /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 < |

I'll second the acetone. Keep the rag wet and use plenty of 'em. It will just smear around if too much of the sticker accumulates on the rag. ------------- 1992 SN Black w/ Yellow |

I've used WD40. Works and it's cheap. ------------- Watch your fingers. |

Gary, I've got to ask! You must be buying WD40 by the gallon! I was over at the hardware this weekend and took a look at the prices. WD40 is basically mineral spirts with some small amounts of friction modifiers. Compare and calculate the per oz. price some time - I did!! ------------- /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 < |
