[Public-list] Cleaning cowls

[Daniel Sternglass]

Hi A30 people,

I used caulking remover, which is esentially Xylene (the same as 
consumer "goof off" tape remover). The finish on my original 1966 cowls 
is a little dull anyway, but this stuff took off everything, including 
some mildew. You might want to try that. Xylene is nasty stuff, but I've 
had great success with it for cleaning, and it is indispensible for work 
involving caulk. You do need to be careful on surfaces that it may tend 
to soften, but the amount I used on the cowling did not have any 
noticible bad effect.
