How to Clean Boat Mold (Ep76) | Sailboat Restoration| Boat Building

Does RMR-86 Mold and Mildew stain remover really work? Boat mold happens to everyone, especially if you are restoring an old sailboat. Mold will grow on the surface of a boat. This episode I talk about how I clean bold mold from my sailboat restoration projects.
Welcome to my amateur boat building and boat restoration channel! Every couple of weeks I post a boat building or boat repair video to document various boat projects, sailboat restorations, or boat repairs. And when all else fails, I tell stories of boat motivation.

WOW! Thanks Joe! I just used RMR-86 on the white cushions and pedestal seats on my 25 YO boat and they cleaned right up! This was after trying several other mold cleaners. This one did the trick - thanks for the hot tip!

[@motorcityboatwerks]

I’m so glad you had success, thanks for the comment 👍😁

[@samuelthomas9758]

I like the videos! I'm currently totally rebuilding a Compac 16, replacing rotten buildhead and bunks + adding support under the cockpit with glass, painting bottom, topsides and deck and the list goes on....

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Welcome aboard 👍😁Thanks for the comments Samuel

[@gnsmk357]

I think that stuff is the right thing for that job. With that over head area, then spray and wash off. That is a top tip. An aside is what I have had some time with and its bleach and ajax. Make a paste which will allow it to stick on a wall or back seat of a car that has had a body in it for a time that came from a junk yard. This past of ajax and bleach will even remove the DNA and smell if you let it sit then clean with dawn soap. Great work.

😁👍 Thanks for the comment

[@perfstaas7188]

Its LOVELY : ) Thx : )

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks Per 👍😁

[@davetowz]

Looks like it works. I have used toilet bowl cleaner for same purpose, need good PPE.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

😎 I liked not having to scrub

[@907T]

Another great video Joe! I'm extremely allergic to mold so I couldn't go near your Skipper 20--I'm an excellent mold detector!

[@motorcityboatwerks]

No mold now Joe😁 everything good to go. Thanks for the comment

[@MooreFishing-ky3wq]

Been dealing with the same crap on a 1986 Chris Craft 315 Commander , I ripped out all the rotted wood and the headliner .

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks for the comment 👍😁

[@vincentdsnt]

Is that product safe for the stitching?

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Good question Vincent! Its important to rinse and wipe clean immediately after using. But the stitching is really not coming in contact.

Is the RMR-86 hard on teak? A quick search shows it can be bought at Home Depot, a favorite store. Also, can teak be bought as tongue & groove? I have an '89 Sea Ray 340 Express that is quite derelict. The plywood behind the vinyl on the sides of the cockpit are rotted out and my thought is, hog all that out and replace with the tongue and groove teak....if it can be had. I found a seller of bronze screws as well to put it all together. Any suggestions on vinyl wall material to put up in the head to use the shower would be appreciated as well.

I recommend you watch my playlist on restoring the Albin 27 as well as my playlist on Boast Restoration advice. 😁👍these two playlists will answer many of your questions 😎 Remember Parts put back into a boat restoration should be proportional in value to the value of the boat 🤔 Good luck

Where did you buy those black boat jacks? Did you weld them yourself?

[@motorcityboatwerks]

😁No all my boat stands are purchased off Craigslist or Marketplace. If you shop around you can buy them in sets at about $40/piece used and then refurbish with paint and a wire brush

[@williams.7314]

@@motorcityboatwerks OK, thank you for the tip. I live near a large lake, but not the ocean, so it would seem boat jacks are hard to come by in the second-hand market. Also, youtube removed my other comment I think, but those black gloves you had on are NOT rated for chemical barrier. Something made of out butyl would be better for using RMR-86 or anything else similarly caustic.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

🤔not sure where you get that glove information 🐙 But those nitrile 9mil gloves are perfectly fine for the task at hand. 🤣

[@williams.7314]

@@motorcityboatwerks OSHA 3151-02R 2023, p. 24 - Specifically mentions butyl gloves are resistant against bases. The section below it on page 25 referencing nitrile gloves does not specify bases, which I think RMR-86's active ingredient is a base. To your point though, what do I know, I'm just a yahoo with a keyboard.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Google nitrile gloves vs sodium hypochlorite 🐙👍😁Then be sure to like and subscribe

Checked out the SDS sheet on RMR-86. Don’t I’ll be putting that inside my boat.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks for the comment Joe 🐙the SDS is similar to bleach but stronger. 🤣 Be sure to like and subscribe
