Sticky spray skirt

Recommended Posts

We've just got back from a week paddling in Maine and I now have the unpleasant job of scrubbing off lots of nasty sticky black marks from my combing. It seems like both of our decks have simultaneously gone sticky round the edges.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can treat them with to stop this? Also I'd be interested to know what has happened to the rubber to suddenly make them go like this.

Thanks

Nick

The rubber is toast. Buy a new skirt. You're experiencing chemical contamination. Drysuit gaskets stored near a gas water heater have the same issue.
