Follow UP - Removing Carpet on Gunnels - and a little love to the Holy Ghost

I removed the carpets and found the brown ugly adhesive...

I tried using the standard stuff - goo gone....NADA

I then went with the recommendation from the previous thread - Contractors Solvent - found at Boat Owners Warehouse or ACE

I also used Citrus Strip found at Home Depot -

It took about 3 days off and on....I would spray it on and then leave it sit....some times I would leave it over night.  I went through about 20 small towels from Home Depot.

The end result is seen here.....I used spray adhesive and the TACO Marine black trim....

The results I have here are temporary and I"ll be putting a more refined solution sometime in the future when I really upgrade the skiff.. I used home depot outdoor carpet.

I needed to really clean up the deck as it a lot of solvent it from the adhesives....so, I scrubbed it and then sealed it with some good woody wax.

Had a few minutes and I was able to put on a coat of wax as I ran the engine in the tub for about 20 minutes in fresh water....
