If the glue on your boat is the same as the glue on my boat it will completely ignore the acetone. I removed all the crusty glue on my boat with a stiff wire brush on a hang drill. However, when the brush got into the gooey stuff it got gummed up and nothing except paint remover will get it off. Could be the glue that is holding the boat together.
Which web site?

Well done, Paul! Damned impressive job.
Thanks but I think the the demo is going to be the easy part. Making it look good is going to be the hard part . . . I see lots of sanding in my future.
Question, was all the glue you removed with the brush dry? Did you have any glue that was gummy? If so how did you remove the gummy glue?
Thankfully it was all dry and crusty. Probably when I wipe it all down with acetone I'll make it gummy again with my luck.
