White..

My first thought was dirt but I figured it might scratch the gelcoat.... I figured flour was fine enough to not hurt anything while "drying" the dang goo that otherwise just wants to make a mess.... I have also just sprayed with wd40 and used a plastic scraper but it never really seemed to get it all off.

The 3m wheel does the job, but makes a mess.

I strip the old stripes off with a heat gun and a plastic razor and then clean the gum off with Brake Clean on a towel--works well--in fact real well.

Now remember--after that striping being on there for 20+ years there is going to be a shiney and probabley raised portion of the gelcoat that has been protected all these years. A great Buff out and wax will help hide this--but it will always be there unless you restripe the same area.

Just my .02

hmmm if it didn't work, at least you could spray it with vinegar for some entertainment... lol

that said baking soda just might be good.... mildly abrasive but uniform and fine enough to polish instead of gouging.... worth a try

Default stripes

i just did mine with a heat gun and a razor, the big stripes are easy the little ones are a little tougher but you'l get a system down after a little while. and Reel, acetone takes that glue rite off with ease
