> How were the EPDM strips attached to the Hypalon hull? Can you take them off easily? The EDPM stips are glued to the hull (directly onto the hypalon). Don't know how easy it would be to pull it off, but I'd suspect it would leave behind a mess that would require a lot of scraping or solvents to get off.
