Simple Green available at walmart. If the boat is on a trailer then use Simple Green and a pressure washer or Simple Green and lots of sponge and arm work.<br /><br />Bob

Re: River scum

slimy grimy or acid works best no mussle work!!! suferic acid works real well wash the trailor down with water first, and have it at 5 ph and wear rubber suit over your clothes and cloves and glassed, also a face mask! works great :) yes you can get some by puttin a battery on a platform and hand drilling a whole into the batter, then let it poor into a bucket :) this stuff will kill and burn your skin remember theold line:<br />
poor little johny (sloopy?) lives no more, for what he thought was H2o was really H2so4

Re: River scum

oh yeah remember, no metal in this stuff it will creat a deadly toxic explosive gas. never keep it at a low PH, one you get a hold of it mix it with water, to raise the PH to around 5, 7 is nuetral like water :) 3 is a lemon and .01 would burn right through you :eek: :eek: :eek: !!!!! this stuff is also great for getting ried of bodys, it will burn them away! just poor some in a bath tub and put the bodys in there :)

bryont,<br /><br />Try "De-Solv-It", also available at Wal Mart. It is a citrus solution.
