I'll second the recommendation for on and off. I use it on tough stains and they come off like magic. Works almost as well as acetone, without the worries. Just don't breathe the fumes or leave it sit on anything metal. Best applied to a dry deck, no matter what the instructions say.

I'm getting those same stains on my boat, its very frustrating. Will the above listed products also take off the wax I just put on the smooth surfaces?
I was hoping that the wax would provide a barrier coating to those stains, but it does not appear to be the case?

The gypsy moths and winter moth catepillars are already eating the oaks and %$%$%$%$ting all over the place. Invest in a tarp to throw over the boat till they are done. Helps keep the pollen off too. I just noticed this weekend my tin boat was covered. Paul

We have plenty of leaves here which means the caterpillars to go with them. And they are eating up a storm. I think they predicted that this would be the worst year to date for wintermoths. This is just from Wed. when I fished last and was to lazy to put the tarp on the boat. I think I will end up waiting until after this Wed. trip to clean up again.

I'm pretty sure BT will work, and safe too, but the problem is getting it up 70 feet in the air to kill them. You also want to get to them while they are small if they get big they are harder to kill. It is going to be a bad year in my neck of the woods. They are starting very early this year. I think there is going to be competition between the winter moths and the gypsy moths for the same food source. I can remember 20 or so years ago that they ate every oak and then actually ate the pines. Looks like a forest fire went thru the area. Maybe they will kill each other off. P.M.
