I have got a problem and I'm sure someone on this site will have a solution or will at least humor me as I deal with this very sticky situation. My project of the moment is a 1969 Eastport that I purchased from the original owner. His judgement about the feel of non-skid Whaler floor has left me with A whole bunch of carpet glue in the little nooks and crannies of what is otherwise a superb boat. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to get this stuff off,other than getting somebody else to do it, that could help me ease the pain of this process. I have tried about everything and it seems that lying in the bottom of the boat with a cold beer and tracing the pattern with a scribe is about the most effective method so far. My problem is I want to use the boat some day and I can't keep drinking all this beer.
