Hi there
does anyone know if there is a technique or product available to remove the remains of barnacles after one has scraped them off.

I left the dink in the water a bit too long and, well, we know what happens. All scraped off but now she looks like a humpback whale with all the marks left behind.

Oh, by the way, the dinghy is inflatable.

Thanks
Trace

Ummm ....Elbow grease and possibly coarse sand paper, but definitely elbow grease.

I think the remnants is basically calcium. Whatever softens calcium and a wooden scraper.

Excellent trip, maybe a bit long. Hawaii is still good, Tahiti is a bit of a dump.

Thanks all

will try your suggestions and let you know how it goes.

Sandwitch...is that you, my dear sister??

Ramona, hush your mouth about Tahiti!!!!!! I would return (and stay) there at the drop of a hat. The thought of dropping out and living a simple lifestyle....complete with a sexy Polynesian warrior type appeals no end

Hi Disralei, yes, I'm back....no fish kissing lately....no kissing of any description. Far too busy being responsible 'getting ahead' hhhhmmmmmpppppphhhhh.

Cheers
