Underneath the bow of my Starcraft holiday there is a foam material that they put on with a glue. The foam is old and dry and I attempted to start to scrape it off. The glue is holding on for dear life though. Does anyone know of a product I could use to get it off? Thanks

your choices are a solvent such as acetone, lacquer thinner, etc; softening with a heat gun and scraping with a putty knife; removing with a grinder or the wire brush that Bondo mentionesk or leaving it

If you are talking about removing the foam material off a fiberglass hull, if all those other ideas offered don't remove it, you could try some Goop remover. It works pretty well with most glues and decals and such. It could work for the foam as well... :noidea:
