I have a problem with paint on my rubrail. It was done in the past by the PO
with Easypoxy burgundy. Every time I wash the boat the paint on the rub rail
must start to dissolve a small bit. It makes it look like a washing with red
paint.You would think after the rail had not been painted in a few years it
would be all gone
What would be gone? The paint? :-)
but its never ending. I usually add a small amount of
bleach
Bingo!
when doing the hull to get rid of any black spots and it is worse
Well duh! :-)
than using just soapy water alone but the problem still happens then. Next
haul out I intend on stripping both and redoing with something better. Any
suggestions why this happens and a solution?
It's old paint, you've been using bleach, bet you never waxed the paint and
it's time to repaint.
A better paint solution?
Two part urathane.
Or at the very least, repaint with Easypoxy and take care of it correctly and
repaint it in a timely manor.
