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.
Thanks, John DeRosa

If it is old Pliobond acetone will take it off. Test beforehand. More
recent cleanup lacquer thinner or I think MEK works OK. I've just had
to clean up some for a non-glider application and acetone was far
easier than other things. Test beforehand.
