adhesive/foam underliner adhesive

All- I'm looking for help. I think this may have been a prior thread, if so I apologize. I am looking for suggestions on removing the vestiges of the hull liner after the carpet and most of the foam are gone. On close inspection, there are quite of few areas where some glue and a little foam are holding firm to the inside of the hull. I was planning on painting the area with exterior paint. I'm no paint expert, but know enough that prep is the key and painting over glue is just going to lead to more work. I've done all my work dry, using a multi-tool scraper and steel wire brush. I generally prefer elbow grease to chemicals, but am open to suggestions. Is there a method that someone has found to work, for example mixing goo gone with water and scrubbing with a bristle brush? Is there a solvent that isn't too harsh and fiberglass safe? Other options one of you have found to work for you, for example just re-covering the hull with hull liner or vinyl? Any suggestions are most appreciated. Thanks in advance. Best, Mike Casillo Invincible Summer Cal 2-25, Annapolis

If memory serves me right a random orbital sanded worked for me.

No suggestion on the foam removal but Sears bathroom paint is good for interior painting as it supposed to be mold resistant. I used it in the Cal 40 I restored.

We had luck with Zep Orange degreaser and the acetone after that. But it is messy no matter how you tackle it. > On Apr 16, 2016, at 4:46 PM, mt… [at] gmail.com [Cal_Boats] <Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > No suggestion on the foam removal but Sears bathroom paint is good for interior painting as it supposed to be mold resistant.

I cleaned up an area where the her had come unstuck on Nemesis, and reglued it with a heavy duty upholstery cement. Unless you want the painted look, I think you can replace the inner with foam backed material with away less cleanup. You get the insulation value of the liner, and minimize condensation.

My problem was slightly different but similar. My Cal 20 features Jensen Marine's miracle interior paint--stuff that peels where it wants to but holds on tenaciously everywhere else (until you turn your back, then you get a new peel). I tried to use gentle paint removers without any success and finally used the most aggressive grade of Zip-Strip. It did not seem to affect the hull resin, and finally made the damned paint release its grip. I'm guessing that the foam stuff was stuck on by some sort of rubber cement. That stuff loves to clog up sandpaper. I'd try the chemical route. If you have access to electricity, plug in a fan for fresh air supply when you re-enter to scrape off the softened stuff, after letting the remover do its wonders. By the way, 3M makes a weatherstrip glue removal solvent for cars. You can get it at auto supply stores. As I recall, it was less poisonous than paint remover. It might work if the glue was/is rubbery. Chris Campbell
