Goo Gone on fiberglass boat

[voeller101]

Would Goo Gone be safe to use on the gel coat on a fiberglass boat? I need to change out my vinyl letters and I'd rather be safe than sorry! Thanks in advance for any replies!

I think a limited amount in a small area would be ok but there is a much easier way to remove them. Take a portable hair dryer and blow on high directly on the letters and after a couple minutes scrape off with a plastic spatula. They will peel off easily or at least the boat license sticker does. Clean residue glue from the scraped off stuff with WD-40. Works great for me.

I used it on mine with no problems. Just use a small amount.

Goo gone is awesome.....

Just remember that the chemicals will melt the finish if left on.........Wood workers regularly use goo gone to "move" finish on antique pieces, when they don't want to refinish them completely.

So, spray it on, let it work for 20-30 seconds, wipe it thoroughly off.....

Done.

It won't hurt gel coat. I used it to remove the 3m tape of my KeelGuard. It's what Triton told me to use.

I use it on my hands for tar, grease, paint and it hasn't bothered me.
