I would dilute the bleach first with water. Mabey 1/2 cup to 5 gallons
of water. This will kill mildew.

Thank you.

While we have our 35' glass sloop, out of the water, I want to paint
the bilge,
and have a few questions:
What is best to clean the bilge with? The bilge has had oil, in it at
times,
and has a lot of stains. Many areas of the full keel are only reached
by brush.
What paint is the best to use? I have never applied Gel Coat. IT this
an option?
Any ideas would be great to hear.
Thanks
