Eisenglass trouble

[howhomes]

I know Ez 2 CY and other upgrades are preferable to Eisenglass. The boat currently has Eisenglass. The panels were rolled up with the idea that the high wind that was predicted would blow through instead of being resisted (if that's the right word) by the Eisenglass. The problem: Water seems to have entered into the "roll" and has created water marks or similar the entire width of some of the panels. They were in really quite nice shape before these marks. I tried Plexus. What other products do you know of? Thanks and really enjoy the knowledge and creativity that I read in the threads.

I have heavy gauge vinyl in my aft deck enclosure - didn't want to spend a lot of money since it was the first piece of canvas I ever sewed and I didn't know how it would turn out, but it turned out well - wished I had better stuff back there - anyway, I get this cloudy stripe through it when water collects in it. To get rid of it, I simply unroll it, snap it down and the sun clears it up. You might try that, unless you've already had it down in the sun for a while, and you're still getting the water spot through it. I don't have an answer for it if it seems permanent after a day or two of being unrolled, dried out, etc.

+1 It should clear up when it dries out in the sun.

I did the same thing on my glass during hurricane Irene. When I unrolled them I had scratches on the bottom of the rolls. I didnt clean mine before I rolled them (stupid, stupid). I tried flitz and it seems to work well, but it did leave tiny scratches buffing out the bigger ones. My canvas guy says he
knows a better product. I cant remember the name but I'll tell you if it works.

We use Liquid Glass. It's sold at auto parts stores at a fraction of the cost of the High dollar products the so called pros recommend. You may have to appy several applications but it does a very good job of cleaning up the Isenglass stains and scratches. Again you may have to apply it three or four times and it also reconditions the glass as well. Our experience is the more times you apply it , the better looking the glass gets.

The reason for multiple applications at one sitting is that many stains have penetrated the glass and you have to get down to them. There are of course some situations where the glass is just too far gone to make it look new, but that is not the case in your situation.
