Material: Need help removing velcro adhesive

In my last minute haste to put a temporary seat in my Night Heron (to try it at the DelMarva Paddlers Retreat) I made the mistake of using some "industrial strength" velcro from Home Depot (Brian, I know, that was stupid). When I removed the velcro, all that was left was the adhesive goo. Any tips on how to remove this without using toxic solvents. It's attached to varnished epoxy on the hull interior.
