[Jr15g]

I'm taking the old Hydroturf and putting in the seadek. This is my progress in 2 hours. Is it beer 30 yet?

 

[Jr15g]

The one piece in the middle is a b*tch!!!

 

[Julian]

This is one of the most satisfying projects you can do! It looks so great when you are done!!!!

I'd say that work deserves a beer or three.

What do you guys used to remove the resin residue?

 

[Wayloncle]

I used Acetone when I did mine a couple weeks ago, seemed to come up pretty easy with that.

I did the back deck on my boat last year....getting that old residue off was not fun. It does however, look great when done. We all wait for the pics of the final project...

@Julian thanks for tips!!!

@Julian Did you use a metal or plastic spatula? I'm using a hard plastic one (on my 2) with acetone that I bought from Lowes to removed the adhesive and it is not working. Using the spatula I removed the some of black residue but can't get the adhesive off. Did I missed something?

 

[Murf'n'surf]

Use lots of acetone. I'm talking a soaking rag full. Let it gum up the residue and start wiping off the adhesive. The rag will need to be turned often so you are not spreading the gum.

I tried both and the metal one worked better.....plus lots of acetone

acetone was great for final wipe off and clean up but I had way more success getting the final glue residue up with Goo Off or Goo Be Gone I cant remember which I used and that got the final glue off then did a final wipe with the acetone. I sprayed an area with the Goo Off and let it sit for a bit and it came up pretty easily then.

 

[GTBRMC]

I used a load of Goo Gone. Found it was doing almost nothing to the residue. I gave up & started adding some water to dilute it before wiping and rinsing, then - BAAM! Something about the Goo Gone mixed with water just ate the residue right up. It was amazing to watch.

Used acetone wipe down to remove the slight oily Goo Gone residue. Worked like a champ.

 

[Jr15g]

I did the rear first. Damn!!!! It took a lot eve though it didn't have as much as the inside of the boat. It's time for a beer and then I'm going in.

I was lucky, Mine came up easy. Might want to try attacking it first thing in the AM after a cold night and before the sun gets to it. Or you could put some ice packs on it to make it cold. It may be easier than all that elbow grease. You'll love the new SeaDek. Also if you need something to cover up that logo you can try this.

@Gym thanks for the tips! Well except the last one. There is not a chance.
