Mr. Spidey,

Is that a "self-portrait" minus the "lens of distortion"? It just might be.

How are you doin' and did those tornados shake the timbers of your "spidey hole"?

For stains like he mentions - The Works toilet bowl cleaner or Sno Bowl - it has to have the acid in it. 5 Mins is usually all it takes to get the tanin stain off my water line - I use it often = those are the same as On / Off which is a good product just the same as tiolet bowl cleaner. I prefer The Works, I know it kicks ass - do not allow it to drip onto the fuel tanl without flushing

Whink has been my preference for most rust stains, of course you could use oxalic acid mixed hot, muriatiac acid, on/off, tsp, vinegar, clr, etc., but the harsher methods will strip the moisture right out of the gelcoat and be even tougher on a painted surface. The weaker products just don't cut it sometimes. Just like with solvents, use the weakest product that will get the job done and understand the surface you are using it on. Just my humble opinion.

Your correct on this, although I haven't had any issues on my trailer I just rinse it off when I'm done. I did see a guy put it inside on the deck and it dripped through the hatch seam onto the tank. The real muratic acid is way too strong, just spilled some of that a couple weeks ago on the driveway - wow
