Lids On VS, Lids Off

I was just sitting here thinking idle thoughts and was wondering if one of those squeegees that they have at the gas station for cleaning the windsheild of your car would work well for cleaning the underside of your racks? I wonder where you could get something like that?

Mark I started with exactly that. It works well for soap washing and ok for rinsing but was a failure for disinfecting. It is questionable about it not containing organics. And did not carry enough solution. The surface needs to be wet really wet think puddle. Sprays can work but they need basically be every min re apply for ten min (or longer depending on the chemicals) I found it a lot less messy flipping it over.

Rob I am certain it can be sealed. The sample I have it would be very easy I'd suggest blue silicone dot squeezed into the open end. top and bottom then pinched closed would do it really well. I don't think I'd trust tape but you could see the seal with blue silicone.

Super flex blue RVT is what I was thinking. Or similar.

I picked one up at home depot for 5 bucks. I think I'll give it a try anyway. It's gotta be better then sticking your hand in there up to your armpit with a sponge.

kitedemon, not tape..............liquid tape, used it when I use to rig boats

Rob that too would likely work. The little sample I was given I disinfected it and learned that this was not a good idea as capillary action took over and wicked disinfectant to between the layers. That is a bit of an issue. It means for sure it will need attention either water proof connections and sealing or removal.

On a side note no idea you work on boats! I spent many years teaching wood epoxy boatbuilding until epoxy sensitivity side lined me.

I do actually but there is a huge difference between building a boat and fixing one. I hated working with many owners...
