Major UK Boat Yard Testimonial
"For some years we have had many enquiries for Boracol 10 from yacht owners all over the world, and especially from Hallberg Rassy yacht owners with teak decks on their boats! They have told us that Hallberg Rassy have recommended Boracol 10 for controlling teak decks for moulds and algae growth! Those who have used it say that it works splendidly and a treatment lasts for up to 1-2 years!
It is obvious that all kind of boats could take advantage of a treatment with Boracol 10 if they have the usual winter lay up problem with algae and moulds! By the Spring it is all too obvious who did not treat their decks - they are filthy - and difficult to restore. I recommend Boracol 5 and Boracol 10 to all my Owners"

Comment for Subscriber
"I wish they had done this 12 years ago!
Once you have treated cockpit or deck with Boracol you will be surprised by how little you have to clean the wood. Almost all the "dirt" is actually fungal."
Reply from another Subscriber
"I'd agree with that, having used Boracol for years. It's just so easy, too, no need to spend ages on my knees rubbing the deck. Also great for sprayhoods and other canvas."

Conditions for best Boracol treatment of boat and yacht parts, including sails and covers
- avoid periods of rapid drying (strong sunlight, warm winds) to prevent the product drying only onto the top of the deck teak surface
- treat at the beginning and the end of your Summer Season, to inhibit mould & slime growth during the winter months
- avoid trapping fresh water on the deck during the Winter lay-up: fresh water promotes growth in the wood fibres
- avoid overcoating with non-breathing coatings, (oils) as these can trap moisture in the timber
- do not sand the surfaces (this will spoil the anti skid properties)

Yacht and Boat Treatment Products
A Boron based clear liquid, designed to treat timber by brush, spray or roller. It avoids the hazard problems of many liquid preservatives by using only water and glycol as carriers. It can also be used in most situations to replace other less ‘friendly’ contact type insecticides, including Permethrin.
Description
5 litres or 25 litres, ready to use, water and Glycol based, clear, non-staining, quick drying treatment to prevent Mould Growth, Staining and Spotting, Slime and all kinds of rot and insect attack. It is a natural Fire Suppressant, inhibiting surface spread of flame.
Boracol Ultra 10 - for Professional, Trade Use
Boracol Ultra 5 - for Professional, Amateur and DIY Use
Limitations
Boracols do not restore colour or remove natural oxidation 'silvering'. If you want to return the timber to its original colour you will need to sand thoroughly and then carry out the Boracol treatment. Boracols are not UV Light resistant, so if you want to keep the original colour you will need to apply a wood coating AFTER the Boracol has thoroughly dried.
