I'm having problems with 2 separate stink/cleaning problems which
would not be problems if the boat were she launched & able to slosh cleaners around in moderate seas, versus up on stands for long storage: Stink #1: had horrid mouse infestation (I was a dumass & left a ladder on her). Sprayed all reachable areas w/detergent & bleach mix & pressure-washed throughout, 3-day hell of washing/pumping routines until clear. HWVR, perverse design (typical of small fbgls sailboats?) has many inaccessible voids btw liner & hull, etc,. There are just enough isolated small remnants of damp crud tucked too far from reasonable access, to gag you even after a week of heating/drying/blowing/etc. Any kind of vapor bomb or other proposed solution experienced/known? Tried releasing free chlorine from bleach using ammonia with her sealed up tight for a day, but not enough to do the deed. Stink #2: 25 yrs after construction & long former use/ventilation, there is still a persistent resin odor from either hull or liner or both. As I'm not very familiar with fbgls craft big enough for closed accommodations (only owned 2), is this common &/or is there any countermeasure? Naturally, the 2 together are disgusting. My only remaining idea is to install a bad MSD, since even anerobic cukka would smell better. ;-^) |
