I removed the old pockets and was left with some brown adhesive on the
interior gelcoat. If I was to guess it is something like Pliobond.

So the questions are, what is the adhesive and more importantly how to
remove it. I have scrapped off what I could but want to get back to
the bare gelcoat.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I went through the same think with my SZD-55 not too long ago.
You can use a solvent called "Oops" all purpose remover without
damaging the gelcoat. It may take several applications and some time
but it should come off. You can find it in small quantities at Lowes
or Home Depot.
It can be used safely on wood, metal and fiberglass. "DO NOT" use it
on your canopy or any other plastic material.

Hope this helps.
