With what does Ian clean up excess shoe goo, I wonder?

That sounds like a good idea. When I put my bronze ring back on after rebuilding the cabin top it leaked at first because I didn't get a good seal under the ring. I had to pull it off and do it again with a lot more Silkaflex.
The way I came to use duct tape was the realization that anyting I used under the sumbrella was going to pull the paint off the mast when it was removed so I might as well use tape over plastic sheet, which I know will work, than what has not worked in the past.
Maybe the shoe goo will come off without removing the paint and maybe something will remove the shoe goo. It is probably a great idea but as my tape is working, I am not changing it out.
