[C38] Preparing gelcoat for adhesives

I like Interlux 202 much more than acetone. It's a slow evaporating solvent and as such it hangs on long enough to take off stubborn contaminants.  Acetone tends to evaporate before it can break down wax, etc.

Based upon [your] input I have purchased and received the "frictionless" tape to use under the companionway hatch slides...my question now is, what's the best way to clean/prepare the surface so that the tape sticks...heck, at $30 for 15 feet I don't want to do it twice! :-)
