Tips for removing sano ???

[cnorrod]

Hey guys. recently bought some seadek for transom/swim platform. Any tips on removing the old sano. Its starting to get dry/ brittle and flake off. Plus its hard on the knees. Any help appreciated.

I was able to lift an edge and then peel it off in pieces... That Sano is crap.... Then ai used goo gone on some of the remaining adhesive.

I used a Wagner heat gun to soften up the old adhesive. It allowed me to pull off some bigger pieces. If you use it make sure to use some pliers to pull it off. It seems like cheese cause it holds heat well.

Does it hurt the fiberglass at all on the swim platform??

Nope. I used heat gun too. Used plastic 1 1/2 inch scraper to get it started then heated it slowly as I pulled it up. Came off pretty clean and almost in full sections. Using the heat gun also leaves minimal adhesive behind. Wipe clean with some acetone after and viola.

I agree with everything above. But would add that acetone will also help get the residue off as well as goo gone. If you use goo gone definitely hit it with some acetone before applying the Seadeck. I didn't use a heat gun on mine. I just let it sit in full Texas afternoon sun for an hour or two beforehand. Took a couple of hours to do the swim deck and transom. It's a nice upgrade.

Awesome, Thanks for the replies.

Heat, acetone, and a beer or two. You can get good even heat by leaving in sun for a few hours

What is the best way to drain the fuel tank from a 1999 SAN

I disconnected the hose where you pump gas in and siphoned through the plug hole on. My 09 220
