Practical Sailor did a test on adhesive removers in the January 2017 issue. They recommend Re-Mov Silicone and Adhesive Remover. Below is a quote from the test results:
Re-Mov Silicone and Adhesive Remover This remover was our most effective overall for removing both silicone caulk residue and polyurethane adhesive. According to the maker, Re-Mov will debond polyurethane-bedded hardware even if it has been in place for years. While we found it a bit slower acting than other products, the end results were truly impressive. Two applications, 15 minutes apart, a few quick passes with a plastic scraper, 20 seconds scrubbing with a bristle brush, and a good wash with soap and water, eliminated all the silicone from a textured deck, allowing it to match original bond strength. If we had a bonding or coating job in which silicone contamination of the surface was suspected, this would be our antidote. Polyurethane caulk was a tougher challenge, but it did allow us to remove the caulk without damaging the gelcoat. Bottom line: Re-Mov is the PS Best Choice and Budget Buy for removing silicone or polyurethane caulk. - Paul E. 1981 C&C 38 Landfall S/V Johanna Rose Fort Walton Beach, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ > On Nov 5, 2017, at 12:00 PM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > > Date: Sat, 4 Nov 2017 18:22:12 +0000 > From: David <davidrisc...@msn.com <mailto:davidrisc...@msn.com>> > To: CNC CNC <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> > Subject: Stus-List Silicone residue... > Message-ID: > > <bn6pr16mb0003b31eea7a12334c44de01da...@bn6pr16mb0003.namprd16.prod.outlook.com > > <mailto:bn6pr16mb0003b31eea7a12334c44de01da...@bn6pr16mb0003.namprd16.prod.outlook.com>> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > I know this has been answered before, but was is the solvent used to get rid > of silicone from fibreglass? > > Thanks in advance. > > > > Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone > -------------- next part -------------- > An HTML attachment was scrubbed... > URL: > <http://cnc-list.com/pipermail/cnc-list_cnc-list.com/attachments/20171104/562227c3/attachment-0001.html > > <http://cnc-list.com/pipermail/cnc-list_cnc-list.com/attachments/20171104/562227c3/attachment-0001.html>>
