Try a cooking oil soak, followed by scrubbing with a plastic scrubber (dish washing type). It should be softer than the gel coat. If that does not work, you may have to resort to nasty adhesive removers, such as you can purchase at auto parts stores. They work, but are toxic and demand wide open spaces for ventilation. Use nitrile gloves. Latex dies quickly in that stuff. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
