Patch of Black Mould
« on: July 04, 2017, 08:30:17 pm »
Hello, can anyone please help me, I've just got my Fishing boat MFV4 out for pond tomorrow, not used it for a while, I have found a patch of black/greenish mould on the rear of the deck, I have rubbed it off with dry cloth but it is still there though not as visible. How do I get rid of it, I can't take off the deck, could be covered with a fishing net once it is stopped.


Any help really appreciated,


Thanks

Believe it or not Gunk (the engine de greaser) will work a treat (also does a good job on UPVC window frames), failing that a little jif (or cif !) with a little washing up liquid  :-))

If it is mould try bleach. Removes and mills the spores that make mould

Could you please remove the picture you are using as an avatar Wheelchairman as it belongs to ME!!!

That is a picture of me at the Helm of the Longhope Tamar.

gribeauval, I was really surprised when I signed on tonight and saw that Avatar, when I first joined I just chose an avatar from the drop down list, but I am almost positive it wasnot the one that is showing, sorry about that, hope no hard fellings - as you can see I have changed avatar to what I use on another forum


again apologies for mix up

I was as surprised as you at the Avatar that showed next to my post when I signed on tonight, from memory when I joined I just picked an avatar from the drop down menu - as you can see I have changed it to an avatar I use on another forum, I hope there is no hard feelings  O0

No problem, it's just that I am very proud to have been allowed to take the helm of the Tamar and guard the experience well.

So you should be, it must have been a wonderful experience for you, a few years ago I saw a RNLI, RIB going flat out it was amazing just seeing her skim the waves, I'd loved to have been on her,


Kind Regards,
