Exclamation update: Alcohol and Durabak are a bad combination

My drunk brother accidentally emptied a spray can of sunscreen into a puddle in a tackle bag. The alcohol dissolved the fully cured (2 months) Durabak under the bag.
Fixable...if my leftover paint is still good...
Will try to repair while boat is out for Irene.

That really sucks, but at least you have some left.

**NOTE TO SELF: PUT BEER IN SIPPY CUP WHEN ON BOAT**

That's crazy. Thought Durabak was impervious to just about anything, especially something like sunscreen.

That's basically what ethanol does to rubber hoses, diaphrams, gaskets, etc that aren't alcohol compatable...
