sticky brown stuff

[catmandoo]

What makes the brown stuff stick to the heads . When i was a boy we never had that problem . Is it the modern diet with all those food preservatives

I'bet summer went on forever, and it never rained in the days of your childhood either /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Also you wouldn't possibly have been resposible for potty cleaning duties, and so it would not loom large in your memory.

Or perhaps, there are many grades and qualities of vitreous enamel, some of which allow orrible stuff to stick to the sides. I guess the same could be said of formulations of thermosetting plastic toilet bowls.

I am not a follower of your food poisoning theory......

Well... what a load of old "/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" (someone else will say it if I dont...)

But wherever do you get that idea - its been an ongoing prob in 40 + years afloat, caused by the fact that marine heads only flush a couple of litres of water while the domestic one at homes uses 8 - 10 litres a time. "/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" then dries on, and as always is a pain to remove until reactivated with water.

Or maybe your crew eats far too much fruit...? /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Isn't it a 'spin-off' from NASA space research..... Or is that something else? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I do know, however, that one of the 'must have' items in my sailing bag these days, when I go on my mate's Rival, is an industrial set of Marigolds!

Is that a function of the cooking, of the cooked, or testament to the previous owner's several decades of heads-cleaning with 16-gauge sandpaper......

Who's for 'bucket 'n chuckit'?

Not wholly related to marine happens in domestic too . Had problem in nice clean cafe in italy . glazed earthen ware too . flush was voluminous but had to wait for ages for tank to fill up . I sure its something to do with diet

 

[catmandoo]
