I think I better try soaking in water. Ca might have been a big mistake, or I might need to cover it to preserve the skin strength.
I would hate to have to tell my friend who paid for the boat.

: - you can also use CA debonder which should work the best but may
: be expensive. I did some Internet searching and I read about
: using nail polish remover (is that still acetone?), boiling hot
: water, brake fluid (might interfere with gluing the new skin),
: and plain soaking in water - although I’ve never seen it
: happen. If heat is used, the fumes are toxic.
