Gerhard, I have cautiously used acetone to remove the dirt and silicone from a similar botched window job with fairly decent results.
Paul C27 - someday Lake Erie, Ontario -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Goss, Gerhard Sent: Friday, June 09, 2006 10:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: catalina27-talk: windows The previous owner of my C27 "sealed" the leaking windows with silicon. He smeared silicon over the outside and the inside original seal, covering the gel coat, aluminum, rubber and glass with an ugly film. (You will agree, sailboats are not supposed to look ugly.) It looks dirty and - you all guessed right - it didn't stop the leaking. Any words of wisdom how you experienced C27-DIYers would attack this? Is there any solvent that would get the silicon off without dissolving my C27? Gerhard "The Mystic" 1991 #4882
