We have a plywood partition in our boat that has had some sort of
vinyl covering stuck to part of it and has laminate on another part.
We'd like to remove all of this and clean up the surface of the
plywood so that it's presentable.

What's the best/easiest way to remove the residue of what looks like
pretty standard contact adhesive that's left after pulling off the
vinyl and the laminate? It's an area of maybe a square metre or so.

Acetone is pretty good at dissolving glue.

It is BUT its super super volatile.

which means a LOT of fumes and a LOT of acetone that doesn't actually
stay around long enough to do much.

I find it most useful for getting superglue out if things its shouldn;t
be in. It is one opvf very few solvents that will dissolve
cynaoacrylate. BUT it helps if you can do it in a sealed container.
