Our recent move of HEY JUDE to the coast necessitated removing the pilot house roof, glass & windshield frame exposing damaged gelcoat under the frame, ~ 8' x 2". I'm guessing earlier in her life the frame was sealed with something like 5200 & when the roof was removed in 2003 for transport from FL to TX the damage occurred. When re-installed in 2003 a silicone caulk was used to bed & seal thus the frame separated from the base fairly easily. When re-assembling I will bedded with butyl tape & seal the edges with appropriate caulking.
My question is... after I scrape & sand off all the old silicone possible, what are your recommendations to remove the very last bits of silicone prior to my gelcoat repair?
Thx, PD
