But the question was "what would remove butyl where it was not wanted".
Agreed varsol and paint thinner leave an 'oily film'.....why wouldn't
they, they are petroleum based.
But varsol and paint thinner will remove butyl and will not harm your
deck paint any more than the splashing of diesel fuel we apply to our
deck paint, annually!
So clean any space that needs proper sealing, clean it after the butyl
is removed with TSP and/or acetone if the substrate can tolerate acetone.
What product would you recommend Mike use to clean his unwanted butyl ?

The one thing I have always hated about Butyl was trying to remove it
from where it was not wanted. Old fittings being rebidded that had
been using butyl would always result in butyl stuck everywhere on non
skid and nearly impossible to remove. Is there some sort of
cleaner/solvent that rids us of that?
