My 3yr old Aquafax dinghy blew a seam on the bow the other day (wasn't pumped up hard either!) so after gluing what I could access and fixing 98% of the damage I emptied a bottle of that milky Sealflex into the fwd chamber to coat the general area and seal the last gaps...
I left it at an angle on the deck to go off and when I came back there was a large dried puddle on the deck and drain channels where half of it had escaped in the process (in hindsight I should have put down a covering but didn't realise that much would escape)...
Some if it peeled off but there's a lot still in the grain of the floor and looks a mess now it's gone dark.

Any recommendations for something to dissolve it and remove. Seems to have dried pretty hard from the bits I have scraped off the smooth areas.
It's listed as water based acrylic latex...
Maybe acetone or CT1 Multisolve?

Thought I'd ask here before buying loads of stuff that doesn't work or makes it worse :rolleyes:

My Zodiac Cadet 240 lasted for well over a decade in comparison and was threadbare at the end but still held air... Nothing lasts these days!

Ah ok, will try that, thanks.
Got both of them in the house so I'll try those first and see how it goes.
