Strip: Tape residue
By:KenC
Date: 8/20/2002, 11:32 pm

I used clear packing tape (perhaps not the best choice) between hull & deck, & of course it was in pretty poor shape by the time I separated the hull & deck, yesterday. There's tiny bits of tape still stuck, and patches of residue from the tape adhesive.

All of this is on the sheer clamp, so I need to make sure its clean to get a good epoxy bond, when the time comes. What's the best way to (1) remove what I can see, and (2) make sure there's no invisible bits or residue remaining that will interfere with the epoxy.

Thanks;
Ken

Crunchy, dry leaves are no good though.
