Coppertone sunblock attacks vinyl !
 

So someone gave me this little travel-size tube
of Coppertone "Sports" SPF 30 sunblocker, right?
Turns out the **** is attacking my vinyl seats in my
brand new Bayliner 175 Capri !. So I got two drops
on the front seats (in the bowrider section), and now
I got this swelled up, yellowish, soft spot on the front
seat. To make matters worse, I extended the seats the
other day, and come to find out that I have a similar
huge soft spot in between the crack of the drivers seat.
Some must of oozed off my back and into the seat crack.
So I don't know what to do now. The swelled up, soft
spots arn't good, and I've been spraying rubbing alcohol,
water, and other stuff on it to try and get the stuff to migrate
back out of the vinyl with no luck. This **** is evil I tell ya.
So has anyone else noticed this? What is in this **** to
do this? And what can I do to try and stop these spots
from doing anymore damage to the vinyl, or did the stuff
already break down the vinyl beyond hope? And your
eyes? ****!, so NOT get this **** in your eyes - I was
blinded for an hour after getting some of this **** in my
eyes. Is there a "vinyl-safe" sun blocker out there ??

Thanks!

Never seen that happen before....we've used lots of diff. sunscreens in the
boat, and none have ever done that... I do know that ArmorAll is bad for
vinyl (at least it used to be) since it has alcohol in it. We use STP vinyl
treatment with UV protectant.

Suck it up and take the sunburn. Save the boat!

Sunblock, bug repelent?.... - whats the connection? hehe
Besides, I usually got the boat moving too fast for any bugs
to land (and stay) on me anyhows. ...of course I suspose
there is that problem of bugs "sticking" to be with all that
gooey sunblocker smeared all over me. LOL

I'd need to find long-sleeved T-shirts with hoods, and
gloves built in, and then find the matching sweat pants.

Both are necessary in the swamp, like around here?

Some years back, I put on a heavy layer of 'Bullfrog' and then picked up
a pair of binocs... which instantly acquired a custom-molded grip that I
found difficult to put down... that's how I know!

Actually they don't. they block only part of the UV, and almost none if
wet. Try http://www.solarveil.com/123.asp And you do not want the affects
of too much sun. Yesterday and today have been visits to the dermatologist.
Scrape and burn on 2 spots and a Mohs surgery on a 3rd spot.

I quit working and had all these white shirts left. They are great on a
boat as sunblockers.

And no tie. Sweet!
