Hobie Forums :: View topic - 303 UV inhibitor on top surfaces

Hi, all.

I have a question about putting 303 on my new TI. The top surfaces of the amas and central hull have a roughened surface - I suppose to allow better footing. I bought a gallon of 303 to apply to my new baby but am wondering if I should avoid putting it on these upper surfaces? Will it make them slippery and defeat the roughening? Should I just apply the 303 to the other surfaces? I know with Armor All it turns everything slicker than deer guts on a doorknob. Does this happen with 303 as well? Thanks.

Rich

Rich You should try the UV Tech that Hobie offers (by McNet) -it gets into the plastic and doesn't just leave a slippery surface - you'll like it better than the 303 - we have tried both.

Oh, heck. I thought everyone was ready to have a stroke about 303 it was so fantastically great! Now I have a whole gallon of it sitting in my basement. So, let me understand. 303 will make surfaces slippery but the stuff from Hobie won't? Ugh!! Okay, any other thoughts folks? Can I use up the 303 on the sails? What about the undersides of the hull - or will it make it impossible to handle the thing on launch (like an oiled pig)? Anyone want to buy a gallon of 303 - cheep cheep?

Rkbarry You should get rid of that 303 garbage as quickly as possible! It is totally worthless!! (PS - I will email you my address - please send to Hawaii via slow boat)

Water will make your boat slippery also. I can find a good and safe home for it and the unsafe 303.

ArmourAll also works... but, it too is slippery. Like the 303, there is a oily film on the surface after application. That also means stuff will stick to it. Dust, dirt...
