Rust stain
Ladies and Gents
I wonder if I could tap the combined wisdom of this group to help me deal with the results of my stupidity. I have a nice rust stain in my gelcoat, in the cockpit as a result of leaving a pair of pliers out in the rain for a week. What would be the best way to remove the stain without damaging the gelcoat? I do know that the sun will eventually bleach it our completely but it would be nice to get rid of it sooner Many thanks in advance Matt SV Mischief PY 26, #129 Montreal |

Rust stain
Matt
Go to your local grocery store and buy some Barkeepers Friend. It contains Oxalic Acid. It comes in a container that looks like Comet cleaner but is gold in color. Dampen the area and sprinkle some on. Let it set for a little while then scrub the area. You might have to do this 2 times depending on how bad the spot is. The rust will disappear. I will never be without a can or two of Bar Keepers Friend. Do a Google search and you can read all about it. Ron |
