Re: Stus-List Sticker residue
Yes. I've used the 3M Adhesive Removal several times with good results. Acetone is good but perhaps too good. It can soften and yellow gelcoat if used aggressively and in large quantity. Be careful with it. As I said in a previous reply mineral spirits is my solvent of choice for decal adhesives. Decal adhesives, especially those used by state agencies, tend to be very strong. You will need patience and generous applications of mineral spirits but eventually the adhesive will form little balls and come off. That's why I don't like to use acetone. If these adhesives came off with a single quick application, I wouldn't be adverse to acetone. However, because you may have to apply multiple applications of solvent, you could harm the AwlGrip. A 3M StripeOff wheel will also work. BTW, for the record, not only was I in the marine repair business 15 years working with sealants, adhesives, etc. quite often, I am a chemical engineer by education and major vocation (retired from chemical manufacturing).

Re: Stus-List Sticker residue
I have used it for st least 10 years on AwlGrip with no negative effects. Don’t rub too hard and rinse with fresh water as soon as the residue is gone Rod Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 30, 2018, at 10:47 AM, Charlie Nelson via CnC-List > wrote: > > Thanks to all who sent suggestions on this glue residue removal. > > I am going to try acetone with a soft rag and hope that it evaporates so fast > that it won't bother the Awlgrip. > > Charlie Nelson > Water Phantom > C&C 36 XL/kcb > > cenel...@aol.com > ___ > > Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.

Re: Stus-List Sticker residue
Be careful. Acetone is a basic type of lacquer and while it drys quickly it can dissolve many things. Try a small out of view location first.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL On Friday, November 30, 2018, 9:48:37 AM CST, Charlie Nelson via CnC-List wrote: Thanks to all who sent suggestions on this glue residue removal.

Re: Stus-List Sticker residue
Has anyone tried 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner? We use it often around the house and even to remove glue from numbers on sails but we have not tried it on Awlgrip. Comes in regular can like acetone and in a spray can at most hardware stores. Dave.

Thanks to all who sent suggestions on this glue residue removal. I am going to try acetone with a soft rag and hope that it evaporates so fast that it won't bother the Awlgrip.
