De greasing a nitro hull to convert to electric?

[Andris Golts]

Hi all im in the process of coverting a John Finch .21 nitro Wild thing mono to 4s brushless power i wiped all the fuel residue in side the hull with a rag the inside wood is sealed with West systems epoxy .What kind of cleaner can i use to remove the rest of the mess so glue will stick to the West systems seal coat Regards Andris Golts.

oven cleaner and a old tooth brush. Works real fast!

My favorite is carb or brake cleaner. Other similar engine degreasers should work as well.

Just did one, poured a cup or so of mineral spirits in a swirled it around, rinsed with laundry soap and water, doesn't smell like old oil at all, no problems with epoxy sticking so far.

denatured or rubbing alcohol works very well and followed by one of the kitchen cleaners (i used fantastic).

worked great for me.

Acetone & a clean terry cloth towel works for me. JIM

Acetone can be hard on paint or polyester resins. It is OK if you're careful. but I've ruined a lot of plastic over the years.

Brake cleaner seems to work well on glass fibre without attacking it, I regulary degrease around the deck & hatch before taping hatch with no adverse effect at all.
