Liner to Hull Gap Covering

[mycatalina33]

I need some advice. One of the previous owners decided to use commercial rubber 4" baseboard to cover the liner to hull gap in this boat. In fact they used 2 pieces overlapped to cover the needed space. It looked pitiful. They used a combination of screws and liquid nails to hold it up.
Question #1 What product will remove the liquid nails the easiest?
Question #2 What are some ideas for covering this 6" gap once it is clean? There is minimal wiring running behind it along with the chain plates so I will need possible access from time to time.

Thanks for your help.

On my boat, it's a piece of thin flat teak trim. But the gap is only around 2". It's screwed into the liner.

Lightweight oiled Cedar boards cut to fit with 2" heavy duty Velcro to hold in place?

In general, LIQUID NAILS construction adhesive and caulk products can be scraped off when they are softened either by:

Heating above 140°F with an electric heat gun or blow dryer
Coating the adhesive with petroleum jelly or mineral spirits for several hours to several days (NOTE: Mineral spirits are not recommended for tub surrounds, whether vinyl, plastic, painted or varnished.)

A 6in. gap is a bit more than I've dealt with but...
Originally my boat had the 3in. gap covered by a run of 1/4in teak veneer plywood mounted with screws. It lasted 20 years. But water ingress warped and de-laminated the stuff. If I had coated it in two part epoxy when I bought my boat it would still be there.
Teak veneer plywood is not terribly expensive, but if you can live with 3 in. baseboard molding (that you can stain to suit your color decor), you'll save a lot of $.


I don't see a 'lip' to attach it to on your boat, so Velcro sounds like a good option.
