Rib Tube Mould

[adams1x]

Hi,

I have just cleaned up my old rib and the tubes have not come up as well as I would have hoped due to Tube Mould! Has anyone else seen this before, I have tried the usually amazing Rib Revive and it was amazing at bringing off the grime and dirt but not these marks... any suggestions..!

Intertesting, my wife suggested that and I was going to get a spare piece of hyperlon to test it on... there might be hope!!

But seriously Oxygen Bleach has worked on mildew marks on a buoyancy aid for me in the past.

So we have a winner!! Cilit Bang Black Mould Remover has removed the marks by about 90% Not all gone but a massive improvement! Thanks for the advice :-) Post picture in a sec :-)

Area to the left has been cleaned with Cilit Bang on this picture...



and area to the right here... I did not do it or all particularly hard as want to be close to a water supply so I can wash it all off quickly but it was a useful test :-)

Having now read the thread I should have done in the first place...!

It think Cilit Bang will work well, I wasnt brave enought ot leave ti on for 5 mins and only sprayed, left for 10 seconds and then green scourer... will have a proper go next week and post results :-)

Looks good. I left it on for 5 mins and it basically cleaned itsself. No scouring needed as creates minor scratching on the hypalon surface. Just a sponge will suffice

So job is completed and the mould has completely gone! Used Clilit Bang Black Spot remover as suggested, left for 5 minutes then rinsed the tubes off, then dried them and applied a UV gel...

Someone has suggested about potential long term damage to tubes using the black spot remover... I know the secret has been out a while about this miracle mould remover but has anyone had any negative issues with it long term, I am currently over the moon the boat, it looks new again but hope I haven't created issues further down the line :-(

fairly obvious the clean bit..!



and overall with all mould gone!
