In my case 2006 Avon Seasport 360 where previous owner used one part adhesive to do so. Now in my tenure the rub rail is coming off, with the one part adhesive leaving lots of sticky flexible residue.
How best to remove the old residue and start over with proper two part adhesive ? I've heard toluene mentioned ? Is it like trying to remove the residue from vinyl letters, where nothing will actually dissolve the residue but only softens it enough to roll it into little balls...or is there something that will dissolve the stuff without harming the hypalon ?
I wonder how 3M VHB double sided tape might work for re attachment, rather than liquid adhesive ?
