We Stay the heck away from the local sailshop unless it is payday AND we've just received our Christmas Bonuses. Will look into the CLR, I've seen it somewhere. CARY
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/06/04 12:41PM >>> There is a product for cleaning rust called CLR (suppermarket) or you could try a little HCL (dilute). I have never tried either on a sail but HCL does nothing to plastic so should be ok, and CLR may just be dilute HCL, never looked. Sorry for the low grade info, but that is what I would do. or ask your local sail shop what they do, the one near me said they soak sails in dilute bleach. -----Original Message----- From: Cary Palmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 11:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [beachcats] Sail Cleaning Rust this time Ok Gary You're on. No Bucket Jokes, Please. Have a large crusty rust stain on my Daughter's H-14 Sail, looks like it has some metal object laying up against the Dacron for some time, Colored Orangish Dacron Main. Any idea how to clean the Rust Stain off? All I could think of was Buckets of Acetone, but I really don't think it would deal with the rust. Thanks, CARY >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/06/04 11:57AM >>> When I saw the subject line I rushed to the keyboard, wanting to be the first to say it. You had already beat me to it. You might give mineral spirits a shot, but acetone won't require as much soapy water afterward. If it were mine, I would do it. I recall removing tar from a boat and sail with the use of gasoline. I used a saturated rag, didn't know about the pouring on of bucket-fulls tecnique.
