How to Clean Boat Mold | Sailboat Restoration| Boat Building (Ep76)

Mold on your boat? Vinyl headliner stained? Fiberglass looking rough no matter how much you scrub? In today’s episode of Motor City Boat Werks, I show you how I remove deep, stubborn mold from an old sailboat using RMR-86 Mold & Mildew Stain Remover. This product has been a game-changer in my boat restoration workflow—especially on marine vinyl, bare fiberglass, and decades-old surfaces that ordinary cleaners just can’t fix. I’ll walk you step-by-step through: ✔️ How to treat mold stains on old fiberglass ✔️ Cleaning vinyl headliners on classic sailboats ✔️ When to use RMR-86 (and when NOT to!) ✔️ PPE and safety tips for chemical cleaners ✔️ Why mold comes back & how to prevent it ✔️ Preparing surfaces for painting and restoration This demonstration uses real sections of my 1981 Skipper 20 sailboat, plus interior work from my 1986 Albin 27 Family Cruiser restoration. If you’re rebuilding an old sailboat, powerboat, or pocket trawler, these techniques will help you get professional-quality results in your home shop. Does RMR-86 Mold and Mildew stain remover really work? Boat mold happens to everyone, especially if you are restoring an old sailboat. Mold will grow on the surface of a boat. This episode I talk about how I clean bold mold from my sailboat restoration projects. ⚠️ Safety Note RMR-86 is not the same as household bleach. It’s more concentrated and can react with metal, fabric, and certain plastics. Always wear PPE, work in a ventilated area, and rinse thoroughly. ***MotorCity Boat Werks has no sponsors and receives no compensation from any of the brands featured or recommended.
