Neil,

Heat gun to get all the vinyl off, then some Goo Gone or Acetone with a little 
elbow grease to clear away the remaining glue. 

All the best,

Edd

I had a look at that video - not a bad approach,  would add that itā€™s easier to 
layup the disks and other patches each onto a sheet of waxed paper then lift 
that into place rather than lifting the messy epoxy patch itself.  If you are 
making 4 patches, stack 4 sheets of waxed paper in your layupboard before you 
start.   Put the precut glass in the stack too, you avoid handling things with 
sticky gloves.     Itā€™s also easier to lay up multiple layers on the 
board/paper than doing one at a time. 
When I updated the instruments on Windstar I replaced two B&G displays with one 
ray marine, leaving one hole.  I elected not to fill the extra hole but made a 
plexiglass cover the same shape and footprint of the new instrument.  Itā€™s 
ready should I wish to add a second display,  it looks fine to me and was a lot 
less work.

Remember also that epoxy will stick to polyester but the reverse isnā€™t true - 
should you wish to use gelcoat to finish the repair you should bear this in 
mind.  Iā€™ve always felt that once you start painting the deck or mixing 
materials you were heading down a slippery cosmetic slope.
