Check your jib track screws too. I used simple green to clean up till I got 
around to the project this year. Mine seeped brown stuff via the bolts and nuts 
inside, dripped along the shelf, behind the cushions, to inside my lockers. 
Finally got around to backing the screws out this year, resealed and it seems 
to have stopped. I'm still leaking somewhere, but at least I'm down a little 
bit.

  Bob,

This is likely not glue, but residue from wet/rotted wood from your deck or the 
cabin sides (prime culprit is window frames). I had window leakage and the 
cleanup was pretty easy - I used either Simple Green or a citrus cleaner - but 
the prevention is another matter. You will want to figure out where this is 
coming from, because it indicates water intrusion to the plywood in the core.

Subject: catalina27-talk: Molasses Glue behind Cushions


Listees, 

I know there was prior talk about this but I failed to save it. In the cabin 
behind my cushions on both sides there appears to be a molasses color residue 
which has leaked down along the inside of the hull. 

If I remember correctly someone said this is from the sealent or epoxy or 
something from the topsides - hull attachment. 

Does anyone have a suggestion on what to use to clean it up?
