[QUOTE="DPI, post: 427415, member: 21975"] I bought this last Sunday as a boat my daughter and I can use to fish out of. It's been about 20 years since I owned a boat and this is the first restoration I have attempted. I have some years building and upholstering custom furniture so I thought I would attempt this as covering the panels with carpet is similar to upholstering furniture. I got most everything apart this morning and now I'm trying to get the adhesive off. This is where I can use some help. What can I use to remove the adhesive? Can I use the same remover on plywood and the metal? How much residue needs to be removed? Does it have to be down to the paint or can there be a thin layer of residue left on the paint? I don't have a before picture, but it looked similar to this: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0285.JPG"]89706._xfImport[/ATTACH] Now it looks like this: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0274.JPG"]89459._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
