Has anyone tried Patio Magic on Treadmaster?

No reason why Patio Magic, Boracol, etc, shouldn't work to remove green algae stains. It won't harm the Treadmaster in any way.

Yes, tried it on my mate's Countess. Works a treat, after a week or so , lightly brush all the loose dead algae away.

Would they be safe on rope?

Yes post #17
If really green spray on neat. Or if ropes are off the boat put them in a bucket of solution then empty solution onto your patio...two birds one product

Thought I'd put my money where my mouth is, so to speak - just ordered 5 litres of Benzalkonium Chloride BAC50 from Ebay for £22 delivered. Should last a while!

What did you search for? Benzalkonium Chloride BAC50 does not produce anything in my search.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130851274464 was where I got mine from - looks like they may be sold out now! I guess that they'll let you know when they have more stock if you contact them.

If you can get it in the washer 4 scoops Wizz Oxyaction and four scoops powder-no more than 60 degrees.My wheel house side screens went in green an hour ago and now almost clean-will give it a second run tonight. Then reproof with Storm Canvas reproofer.

A couple of questions when using Patio Magic......do you have to be careful not to over-spray plastic windows of a cockpit canopy? Also, will it cause teak deck caulking to soften?
Many thanks, Allan

It has no ill effects that I have found in years of using it. Caulking is unaffected. My portholes and hatch are glass but it's not going to hurt plastic.

NO and NO. Have not noticed any ill effects to plastic or caulking.

No problem, there is a guy in Southampton who has the equivalent of 35 litres of Patio Magic, who might sell some off cheap. See post 37.

Is that the "Storm brush on canvas proofer" http://www.stormwaterproofing.com/application/waterproof/brush-on-canvas-waterproofer-5l.html? Do you find it good?
I ordered a can of it last year hoping it would be on the lines of the old Mesowax that you can't get now but they sent me the much more expensive thin one that's just like Fabsil, which I don't find very effective on heavy fabric, by mistake and it was too much hassle to send it back.

It's certainly going to be enough to last a while, so I probably will be selling some of this on, most likely to fellow yacht club members!
For those who have succesfully used Patio Magic on green sprayhoods and dodgers, do you usually use it neat? - if not, how much do you dilute it?
FWB
N/A
Suggested dilution is 4:1 water to magic. Adjust to suit conditions. I use neat spray on small bad areas sometimes found over winter when boat doesn't get used so much.

Thanks, I'm expecting it to be delivered soon, looking forward to trying it on my very green sprayhood - I'll try to do 'before' and 'after' pics!
FWB

If its very green then I would reduce the dilution. You may need to go neat ! Don't expect instant results, you should see an improvement the next day but it will gradually improve with time.
Just to add that I have found that prevention is better than cure. Once you've got rid of the green then apply yearly even if you don't think that it's necessary.
