Re: Stus-List Speaking of oxalic acid

Are you insulting my crapamaran?  I mean, catamaran?  :)

Actually, the oxalic acid seems to work well on the brown stains.  I got
some at my local Ace Hardware.  It does, however, have a deleterious affect
on the decal striping on the hull.

The issue now are the "footprints" of the lichens and woodvine.  I may have
to compound/polish it off.  Actually, I'm thinking the next owner can do it.

I'm thinking someone at the FWYC needs a beach cat.

I have not used this myself, but I have seen folks clean severely stained hulls 
using cheap “Dollar General” toilet bowl cleaner.   At 24oz for a buck, it may 
be worth a try especially for something heading to Craigslist.

A power washer and bleach generally does the job if you let the bleach soak in.

I'm trying to clean an old beach cat I've had in my back yard for, well,
for a "while".  It has lichen growing on it.  What a chore.  It's headed
for Craigslist.

Anyway, it is badly stained.  I'll mix up some oxalic acid to remove most
of the stains.  Hopefully the rest will polish out with some Aquabuff 2000
and a DA polisher.
