Thanks, Jerry! Where did you find SOY.Gel? --Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: Kovach, Jerry To: Craig F. Honshell ; For and about Montgomery Sailboats Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 10:33 AM Subject: RE: M_Boats: old varnish / fiberglass There are several methods that I have successfully used. One is to simply use a razor blade and lift the old varnish off the gel coat. This generally works well on flat surfaces, not well at all if the varnish is on non-skid surfaces. A second method is to use a heat gun. One must be more careful, but this method is very quick, effective, and safe if used carefully. A third method I have used with excellent results is to apply a varnish remover to the dried varnish and remove with a scraper. A product called SOY.Gel has produced excellent results while at the same time being relatively safe to use and nondamaging to the gel coat.

Honshell Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 5:03 AM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: M_Boats: old varnish / fiberglass Anyone know a way to remove old, dried varnish from fiberglass w/out damaging the fiberglass? I know acetone would be good for freshly applied clean-up, but am thinking it would require something harsher to cut the old gunk. Thanks!
