Sometime last spring, someone on the list mentioned that he was reading the Farley Mowat book; "The Boat Who Wouldn't Float"; I had never heard of Mr. Mowat, but noted that the comment was that the book was enjoyable. So I picked up a used paperback copy on ebay. I laid it aside during spring launch and other activities, and came across it a couple of weeks ago. I just finished the book and I am hooked. This was a great read and I couldn't put it down. Since I know little of the northern waters described in the book, I kept my laptop next to me and scoped out all of the places they went, which made it even more enjoyable. So thank you to whomever it was that suggested the book, I am now a Mowat fan!

Agreed varsol and paint thinner leave an 'oily film'.....why wouldn't they, they are petroleum based. But varsol and paint thinner will remove butyl and will not harm your deck paint any more than the splashing of diesel fuel we apply to our deck paint, annually! So clean any space that needs proper sealing, clean it after the butyl is removed with TSP and/or acetone if the substrate can tolerate acetone. What product would you recommend Mike use to clean his unwanted butyl ? Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.

Old fittings being rebidded that had been using butyl would always result in butyl stuck everywhere on non skid and nearly impossible to remove. Is there some sort of cleaner/solvent that rids us of that?
