Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 709 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 709 | So I glued down some bubble insulation on my firewall/floors using 3M 77. I got some over-spray on my kicks, which have an acrylic clear over top. Now parts of them are rough to the touch. Can anyone suggest a way to remove this? Or can I put a clear back over-top to try and smooth it out? It's not show quality, but trying to do what I can to make it presentable.
