Hello All

I accidentally allowed silicone spray to drip onto the fibreglass deck of
my boat. The deck is now extremely slippy and therefore extremely
dangerous. I hope you can help by letting me know how to remove/clean it
away.

I'd try this in a small spot and see how it works: apply a thick layer
of talcum powder to the surface, rub it gently with a dampened cloth
or sponge, then wipe it off. Ideally, the talcum powder should be able
to absorb and remove the silicone spray. Since this is a messy
cleaning job, test a smallish area first and see if it works well
enough to use for the rest of the job. Flour might work, too, but
talcum powder is very slightly abrasive, so it would probably do a
better job getting the silicone off the deck. Baking soda might work,
too, but it is less absorbent and it might be too abrasive.

I think this is the right approach. I was going to recommend using clay
cat litter. I use this for oil drips on my garage floor.

I do not know which is the least abrasive. Whichever you use, I would
apply it without scrubbing. Just let it absorb the silicone.

Now, how do you get rid of the (flour/talcum/clay powder) without
scrubbing? Perhaps a vacuum cleaner would pick up most.
