Is there any tricks to removing the seal material from the fiberglas hole.

Razorblades,......
Sandpaper,+ a Sander,.......
4, 1/2" Grinder,+ a Wirewheel all come to mind.........

I Guess it depends on the Sealant...........

You can use about Any liquid on cured Fiberglass.......

thanks, I figured there was really gona be no nice way to do it, but on the other hand I didn't want to eat the fiberglass with varsol or paint thinner. Its a #$*!y job but if I didn't do the windows soon, the boat would start to go down hill from here. Its in great shape other wise so....

be careful using thinners, because static electricty can build up and cause a fire via a spark. it usually dosen't happen, but i've seen it myself.
