[Alberg30] Painting the interior

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Scott,

I generally was the interior in the spring (hanging locker and mildew areas)
with bleach and water. This kills the mildew and makes it easy to remove.

I painted the interior with single part Interlux with Teflon, it works great
and nothing sticks to the surface. That job was done four years ago and it
still looks new. Of course I opened the hatches and put a fan in the cabin
to cut the fumes if any, but it wasn't that bad.

Hi Friends,

When you paint the interior of your vintage Albergs, what do you recommend?
The previous owners of our WATERMARK, a 25'LOD Rhodes Meridian, painted the
interior with a waterbase zinser.  It looks good but we spent two days
scrubbing out mold and mildew.  This could have been because since the
former owners we spoke with, two other owners performed absolutely no
maintenance and let her sit at a Florida dock for almost two years before I
bought her and returned her to the Midwest.

Some people have remarked that oil base might leave toxic fumes and cause
problems while others mentioned that waterbase is better for the environment
and health.  It would seem to me that perhaps waterbase paint might be more
likely to be conducive to mold and mildew growth. Oil base might clean
better.

What do you all think?  (and of course, do: )

Scott Wallace, WATERMARK
