You're right as usual Dwight. The ingredient listed for 216 is Xylene, same 
stuff.

Interlux Special Thinner 216 smells just like xylene, availble from most paint 
stores for 1/3 the price…xylene works

Interlux Special Thinner 216 dissolves butyl beautifully and leaves no 
noticeable residue. I use it to prep many surfaces for painting or caulking.

Goo Gone or similar. Final clean with denatured alcohol. 


BTW, denatured alcohol removes uncured, repeat uncured, 5200 well.

But the question was "what would remove butyl where it was not wanted". 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 ?

Mike: 
Varsol or any paint thinner will clean butyl.

The one thing I have always hated about Butyl was trying to remove it from 
where it was not wanted. 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?
