Degreasing
Anyone have an effective de-greasing method for the bilge? 40 years of oil drips and grime have left a nasty sludge in the bilge. First thought is to get a gallon of simple green, few buckets of hot water and get to work with a scrub brush.
There will be a lot of glass work coming in this area- tank bed, keel stiffener, transom chocks/gussets, etc and don't want grind in oil residue if any is left behind.
Typically would just scrub first with dawn or simple green, then hit surface with grinder/sander then clean with solvent but there is a LOT of oily glass in the bilge. Looking for good first cleaning step that might be better.
Thanks.
