I use 99% alcohol that I buy in five gallon pales for work to clean everything and remove everything. I used it for butyl too and uncured epoxy that I use for the base insulators, it is a little expensive but works without harming anything.

Your feet may look good but if your engine blows you ain't going nowhere From: Robert Abbott [mailto:robertabb...@eastlink.ca] Sent: October 16, 2014 8:45 PM To: Letsgo Sailing; cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Butyl But the question was "what would remove butyl where it was not wanted". Agreed varsol and paint thinner leave an 'oily film'.....why wouldn't they, they are petroleum based. But varsol and paint thinner will remove butyl and will not harm your deck paint any more than the splashing of diesel fuel we apply to our deck paint, annually! So clean any space that needs proper sealing, clean it after the butyl is removed with TSP and/or acetone if the substrate can tolerate acetone. What product would you recommend Mike use to clean his unwanted butyl ? Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.

Old fittings being rebidded that had been using butyl would always result in butyl stuck everywhere on non skid and nearly impossible to remove. Is there some sort of cleaner/solvent that rids us of that? Mike Still sailing in Nova Scotia on Persistence
