Howdy folks!
I'm changing the name on my transom and the blue hull was Poly-Glo'd over the vinyl letters.
Well the vinyl letters came off fine but removing the Poly-Glo is a real bear...
Poly-Glo told me to scrub off the old acrylic with "Spray Nine", well what a job! Does antybody have any short cuts?
I have about two hours of scrubbing in and more time to go. My transom paint is beautiful and I don't want to damage it.
This job is extending my splash time.

Re: Removing Poly-Glo
Old School,
Naturally the company sells a remover.

I have also read acetone will remove it. Test first. I have never done this myself.

Re: Removing Poly-Glo
Don't use acetone!!! Bad, bad, bad. Use Poli-Strip and the light scrubber they send along. Lots of water, then Poli-Prep hull before you apply Poli Glow. Works fine.

Re: Removing Poly-Glo
The folks at Poly-Glo told me to use Spray Nine and a scrubby. I'll get to them in the morning and get some of the stripper. Thanks Folks!!
