One is about using paints on the myriad rubbers, plastics and other substances we use in gear. The instructions for paints often don't include the warnings that cleaners and solvents do about 'test on an inconspicuous spot' before wholesale use. I wonder what chemical reactions might be set in motion as the paint, gear and different waters combine. (?) And the next concern was about Gary's comment. The sunblock prolly was hard enough on the open cell suit but the rest of the cleansing could lead to a chemical soup of abuse the outcome of which no one could predict. Good luck with it all. Hmmm -

Tried dry-scrubbing with fingernail brush. Tried dish soap and scrub brush. tried Shout with wet scrub brush. So far no results.
