[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 432071, member: 13599"] UPDATE: I removed the deck lid from my '59 Crestliner and under the deck was a powdery oxidation..... since it was off, I wanted to paint it. A member here (sorry, I forgot who) suggested Easy Off oven cleaner to remove the oxidation. wow - this simple process WORKS !! I let the cleaner sit for about 5 minutes and scrubbed with a brush then rinsed with clean water and it is ready for primer and paint. of course this process will kill every type of vegetation it touches. so you must find an area that you will be content with dead grass until next year. [ATTACH type="full" alt="underdeck 1.JPG"]91425._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="underdeck 2.JPG"]91426._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="underdeck 3.JPG"]91427._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="underdeck 4.JPG"]91428._xfImport[/ATTACH] the dark areas is surface corrosion in the beginning stages. I will give it the Ospho treatment prior to acid etch primer and paint. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Ospho.jpg"]91429._xfImport[/ATTACH] not bad for a 58 year old boat that has seen its share of salt water !! hopefully, I can make it last another 58 years. . [/QUOTE]
