Re: Stus-List Removing caulk residue
Hello again, I just wanted to offer an update with regard to cleaning off the old caulk, So, I carefully scraped as much caulk as I could off with a razor blade. 2 of the hatches are located right in the non skid! (that sucked!) This ate up 2 boat days! Then, I got the McKanica Silicon caulk remover and spread that with an acid brush. ( I would not hesitate to use this again and would not spend as much time with the initial scraping) This made it so I could get the remaining stuff off with a plastic razor blade. I tried the DeBond but that doesn't work. I had it left over from the viking and I recall it not working very well then either. I swear, it took me about 2 hours to remove the hatches and another 3 boat work days just to clean off that F#$%ing caulk! Oh, I did have to use a SS wire brush, the one that is little bigger than a tooth brush, to get all the caulk out of the non skid areas. I did finish up with one of those magic eraser, Mr. clean, type things and then denatured alcohol. (almost wanted to take some swigs!) Anyway, I'm ready now to fill in the old holes, drill, plug, re-drill new holes and set WITH BUTYL TAPE. The amazing thing is that, the PO had the decks painted, and they did a really nice job. At forst I had thought they taped the hardware but, they removed it. that was maybe 6 years before I bought the boat, I can't imagine those hatches were in very good condition then either. The frames are great, but everything else is pretty sun beat. All the plastic is brittle and the lenses are very crazed. Anyway, Thanks again for the advice.

Stus-List Removing caulk residue
Danny: Try using a small round wire brush on a drill..I did that on my hatches when I removed and replaced the seals and it worked fine.did not scratch or damage anything and did a superb job of removing and cleaning the old adhesive from the surface(s).

Re: Stus-List Removing caulk residue
Another vote for butyl tape. It depends on kind of caulk you are trying to remove. McKanica works pretty well on Silicone. If it's a urethane caulk, mechanical methods and Debond may work. Butyl tape will probably respond to mineral spirits, but is easy to remove mechanically, anyway.
