[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 489220, member: 7076"] Question for some of you have experience here: How do I get the old 2 part mixed foam out of the support braces? [ATTACH type="full" alt="PXL_20220515_195758977.jpg"]111361._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="PXL_20220515_195803951.jpg"]111360._xfImport[/ATTACH] The angle of the braces and distance from the inner wall of the hull prevent me from going straight in with any kind of a stiff tool to pull it out. I've been able to go in about 3-4" using some various bent tools, but the foam appears to be even further in than that on some of the braces. I tried bending a hacksaw blade, a few hooks & rods made out of welding rod, Having seen what this stuff does to the hull when it's wet and soaking for a long time, I want to remove as much of it as I can. Are there any chemical combinations that could help break down the foam? Other tools that I haven't considered? Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
