T&T: Oxalic acid and bottom paints

[Gregory Han]

I bought a Mr Clean bathroom cleaning wand that is about 18" long and
has replaceable pads. I put Sno Bowl on the pad and apply. The Mr
Clean wand head pivots so I can easily keep the pad in contact.
Reuse the pads for months until they disintergrate.

Also good for cleaning the bathroom tile floor without crawling around.




 To reduce the damage from oxalic acid
> treatments near the waterline I made a small square sponge applicator which
> is screwed to a 18 or so inch long dowel stick. Using swim flippers, and a
> cheap life jacket, I pour some oxalic acid on the sponge to dampen it, then
> run it along the waterline, just above the bottom paint, rather like
> putting paint on with a roller. One trip around the boat takes perhaps 5
> minutes at the most, then it's rinsed off with a hose and wash down pump.
