[Public-List] cleaning under the liner

[vmarmei]

Mold...Yes...Mold reminds.... me Long time have not seen any in my boat.
Well here goes: for a long time I used to soak all my boat lines and 
wash everything diligently with a mixture of vinegar and water or 
water and Javex ....then I saw a friend in the club soak every thing 
in a pail containing a green solution.
He told me that this Green solution was a Swimming Pool LIQUID 
ALGAECIDE sold here in Canada /Canadian Tire Store for $4.07 a 
gallon.(Summer before the pool season)
Liquid Algaecide is  dumped into a swimming pool to kill all the 
Green.Brown and the Black mold,algae and other harmful elements.
Now... I soak all my lines in a 5 gallon pail/with a mix of 1gal 
Algaecide to 3 gallons of water ....you have to have some space for 
the lines and leave them there for 2-3 days. I also spray all my Teak 
Wood inside outside the boat liners, empty drawers. etc,etc. using a 
Fruit Tree Pump Sprayer. I let this spray (in the summer) run right 
over every thing...down walls,partitions,doors but specially into 
crevices and hidden spaces that one can not reach with a sponge or a brush.
Spraying like this is a piece of cake....I also wipe the excess 
liquid off with a towel from the teak panels BUT I let it run and 
soak all the hidden places.  The warm /sunny weather dries every 
thing in a few hours....but leaves the un-harmful residue for the 
mold to feast on.
Now the interesting thing about this Algaecide is that it KILLS the 
ROOT of the mold while Vinegar and Javex leave the mold dormant for a 
sure come back.
It is also Non Toxic and Harmless in a swimming pool (But NOT 
recommended for straight cocktail drinking) It also does not Eat or 
destroy the rope and lines like Javex does.

Another thing....If you want to score some +++ points with your 
wife/girlfriend....take some of this Algaecide in a glass jar and 
with a paint brush paint all the Tile spaces with this stuff (No mix) 
two or three times a week....after a few weeks all that black mold in 
your shower / bathroom will be gone for good. My wife at one time 
used to scrub and scratch with a tooth pick and a tooth brush for 
this mold in our shower room for hours. Well I took the walls to the 
brush (only the tile joints) and for sure got rid of the mold and 
also scored some ++++ points.
If you have any mold in your walls in the basement....drill a 1/16 
dia, hole through the Chiprock (Drywall) 5/6 feet up the wall (In 
between the 2x4 @ 16 inches) and with a plastic Syringe shoot the 
back wall full of Algaecide and your wet grey ugly mold will disappear.
That is all for the time being.
Have a HAPPY Alberg sailing Summer and a most Healthy and Prosperous 
New Year.
