Remove Waterline Stains

| Background
- Waterline Stains |

In case you've wondered
what caused the stain in the
first place, it's not industrial
waste floating in the water
where you dock your boat. It's
algae. Gelcoat, the colored
fiberglass exterior of your
boat is actually quite porous.
Since algae is microscopic
in size, it gets into and attaches
itself to these pores as well
as to the surface of your hull.
All that scrubbing and power
washing that you did, got it
off the surface, but of course
you couldn't clean out the
pores, they're too small.
Algae is the generic name
for many thousands of species
of primitive one celled or
multicelled plants. They contain
chlorophyll, the same stuff
that makes grass green, and
it's the chlorophyll that gives
the stain its color. Green
if the algae is alive, brown
if it's dead.

Whay Others Say...
"Aurora Waterline Stain Remover is the best $#@* thing I have ever seen. It will be a cold
day in hell before someone makes a product better than that. Worth
its weight in GOLD."
B. Fee, Stoney Point Marina
"I have tried everything to remove a 3 year old waterline stain
and nothing worked until your WATERLINE STAIN REMOVER. It did the
job in 15 minutes!"
James T, Oakville, ON
"I'm amazed at how fast your Waterline Stain Remover got the brown
stains out of my hull. I've tried everything over the past 4 years
and thought I would have to live with the stain. You Boat Scrub
is awesome stuff. My Boat looks new again. Thanks."
BW, Key Largo, FL
"My customer cleaned part of his hull with your Waterline Stain
Remover and it was absolutely white. He ran out of product and asked
if we could finish the job. We tried every other cleaner we had
and cleaned it 3 times but the bottom still looked yellow next to
the white area that he cleaned with your stuff. We would like to
order. Our service guys are tired of dicking around."

First be sure to follow
the instructions on the bottle.
Remove heavy algae with a deck
brush or pressure washer.
Pour Aurora Waterline Stain Remover into the plastic paint
tray. Apply to stain with an
inexpensive or disposable paint
roller (Plastic Core roller
recommended).
Wait 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse
with garden hose. Repeat if
necessary. |

Aurora Waterline Stain Remover
has a sharp odour. When applying,
start at the farthest downwind
spot and work upwind.
Be environmentally responsible.
Clean your boat on land sufficiently
far away from the water's edge
so that runoff will not enter
the water.
To protect adjacent bottom
paint from damage, protect
by covering with masking tape
and disposable Poly drop cloth
or plastic garbage bags. |
