Question: Took old sail numbers off head sail but it left red sticky residue. What will take this off ? Mylar / Kevlar sail

Richard Anderson

Answer: Hi Richard, you need to soak the old adhesive in Acetone. Once it is soft, scrape in off with a putty knife and toilet paper or paper towels soaked in acetone. It is a messy process but that is what works best for us.
