stuck like chuck

Posted by gober on May 31, 2006

Howdy folks,

I finally started working on completing my kayak weekend. I haven�t been able to work on it since last October. The work is purely cosmetic like rub strips and correcting the bad seal on the hatches. I have been busy with a new baby and my two year old. I was able to put the yak in the water Monday, first time in about two months.

Now lets backup 7 months. Back in October �05 they made their maiden voyage in the Florida Keys. My hatches weren�t fitting tight, so I took some clear packing tape to seal around hatches for the 1200 mile trip home. The tape worked great to keep the rain out. But now I am left with packing tape residue around and on the hatches. This stuff is stuck like chuck. So far I have tried vinegar, Windex, and of all things WD40 to remove it. I don�t really want to sand it off or mess up the epoxy with harsh chemicals. Do you guys have any ideas on what to use? Btw the boat isn�t varnished, epoxy only.

Thanks for your input.

Gober
