Enigma
Greetings,
I have a leaking hatch. The transition between the deck and the vertical section are covered with a piece of 1/4 round. Some DPO had the bright idea of bedding this 1/4 round in, what I suspect is Life Caulk or Boatlife brown caulk. To remove one 2' (aprox.) section has taken me about 4 hrs. as I wish to re-use this molding. Now, the conundrum...What solvent/chemical can I use to remove this goop from the molding? I plan to get a capped length of copper pipe to use as a "soak tank" to minimize solvent volume. Options are: acetone, lacquer thinner, turpentine, paint remover (usually methylene chloride), gasoline, alcohol or any other stuff you can suggest.. I currently have none of these and don't wish to store an unsuitable solvent on board (fire hazard). Thanks in advance.
