Actually, no. I originally thought that acetone might be too harsh. I'm going 
to try it.

Fwiw I've tried sticking led puck lights in my lazarette on our 30-2 and 
couldn't get anything to stick there either. I just finally gave up and stuck 
the adhesive with super glue from our med kit.

I also stuck one on the underside of our helm seat so that we can more easily 
connect our shore power when we come in after dark.... Which we do quite often, 
especially after dark in winter.

I am curious, did you connect the led s in lieu of the florescent fixtures 
located there or adjacent to them? I would be curious to hear what you've done 
for switching if it was the latter.

It's your 30-2 in the great lakes?

Best,
Kevin

Anyway, I attempted to install a couple of flexible led light strips in the 
overhead light recesses in the cabin of my 30-2. The lights are like these: 
http://www.westmarine.com/buy/optx-marine--flexible-heavy-duty-led-strip-lights-12--P012712865
 
Each overhead light recess has a translucent cover panel. Underneath the cover 
panel is the raw fibreglass side if the deck structure. 
 
The lights are supposed to be affixed using an adhesive backed tape. I tried 
the tape. I tried "industrial" Velcro. I tried "No More Nails" tape. Nothing 
will stick. By the next day, the light strips have detached. 
 
I did clean the raw fibreglass with Simple Green,  but I am now wondering 
whether there is something in the resin that is making this a hopeless 
exercise. 
 
Any tips or suggestions?
