Try Goof Off. At any grocery or hardware store. It will remove the tape glue
residue. Takes some rubbing, but it worked for me.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Deck Cleaning Help
Strange I was going to send a message requesting the expertise of the list as
well on a similar question.
I had someone working (well that claimed to be working on my boat) on my boat
doing some wet sanding and setoling my hand rail extra.
Two problems, one he told me that he had removed all the tape that he put on
the gel to protect it...NOT so when I removed the tape there is some residue of
glue etc on the gel. The boat has been hauled and is on the cradle in the shed
but there will be all kinds of 'stuff' in the wind that will get on this
residue and damage the gel. I think he thought that I would miss it because
the boat was in the hanger...and secondly he left tools and the setol can
(metal) on the deck and obviouly during a rain storm and stained the decks with
the metal so I now have a metal ring on my deck in two places and the outline
of the screw driver that he probably used to open the can. Believe it or not
this person came highly rated...whatever!
Is there something that I can use that will remove these stains?
Many thanks!

A good friend, who has a boat repair service, has been working ion the Cal
27
belonging to an acquaintance at the club. Clean the decks, buff the topsides
and apply New Glass, refinish the mast with white Imron, sand, fair, and
repaint the bottom. The boat was looking really nice and ready for relaunch
- until a few days ago.
A young yahoo decided to sand the bottom paint off his old boat, and the
black sanding dust ended up on the recently painted - but not fully cured -
mast. Reportedly it was ablative paint and why he didn't have the yard take
it off with the pressure washer when the boat was hauled I cannot say.
Anyway, the mast has been wet sanded to remove the imbedded black stuff and
repainted.
Yesterday when they went to step the mast at the yard they discovered that
the deck is also looking pretty bad. The black sanding dust has bled into
the gelcoat and - apparently because of the effects of sun, heat, and
morning dew - there are purple-ish blotches that look like bruises on the
recently pristine deck.
My buddy is trying to clean the decks without screwing up the work already
done on the bottom and topsides. Normally he would use On and Off on the
deck, but we both suspect that the oxalic acid runoff from the decks will
ruin the New Glass and the Trinidad Pro bottom paint.
So here is the C&C related part of this message: We want to draw on the
expertise and experience of the list before attacking the deck. Can anyone
recommend a cleaner or a method to clean the deck without screwing up the
shiny topsides?
