I replaced mine 2 years ago ( a real pain...), I don't remember the bedding to
be a problem, I always use an Olfa-type cutter to cut the seal. The issue was
more with access and the 18 screws that were frozen, I had to use my impact to
break them loose ( the kind you smash with a hammer ).Lost 3 vacation days to
complete this "easy" task...SylvainC&C27 MkIII

{}#yiv9305459640 Sophia,While I have never used Debond to remove a traveler
track, I did use it years ago to unbed the depth sounder transducer from my
hull, with marginally satisfactory results (the transducer came out but it took
some “persuasion” with the help of a weighted “swing press” aka, a hammer). As
long as your traveler track is anodized rather than powder-coat painted, I
don’t think that the Debond will damage the color or surface of the track.
Also, BoatLife products makes a similar Sealant Remover that can be purchased
in a 1 oz spray bottle through Defender Industries (who do ship to Canada)..As
a last resort, heat probably “un-cures” more stuck together adhesives,
galvanically welded metals, and nasty gummed up fasteners than any chemical
goop I’ve ever used. Obviously, taking a torch to a bridge deck or transom
mounted traveler track my require a delicate application of heat (take out any
spare fuel tanks from the lazarette, for example) and in this case, a heat gun
may be more appropriate than a soldering torch..Best of luck,Chuck

Subject: Stus-List Traveler Removal C&C 29 MK1 Hi all, I bought a new Harken
traveler system for my C&C29 MK1. I know the old traveler track will be a real
pain to remove. Just getting the bolts out is hard because of the adhesive they
used at the factory (still have the original track). Someone recommended
Debond as a product to try and dissolve the adhesive. Given that Debond isn't
easy to get up here, I want to be sure it will work before ordering some. Has
anybody used it, or have any other product recommendation that would work
without dissolving any of the coating? Has anybody removed their track, and
what did you use? Thanks, Sophia1978 C&C29NYC, Toronto
