RE: [Paddlewise] To Remove Old Foam Padding

You might try "GOO GONE" a citrus based sticky stuff remover. I haven't
tried it on pads, but have used it for other types of adhesive removal as
well as tree sap and road tar with good results.

Subject: [Paddlewise] To Remove Old Foam Padding


    In the spirit of posts that do not mention certain large sea creatures 
that shall remain nameless and the laws, ethics and moral beliefs that we
all 
share in common:

    Does anyone have any tricks or neat techniques for removing old cockpit 
pads.  I have decided it's time to rethink my Explorers fit and need to 
remove all of the existing foam outfitting to try something new. I'd like to

avoid just dumping a bunch of nasty Acetone around.  It seems so wasteful, 
inefficient and non-green. ;-)

    Thanks in advance for you advise.

Jed
