Prepping Your boat canvas for summer use
Ahoy there! As the sun begins to shine brighter and the weather warms up, it's time to start thinking about getting your boat ready for the summer season. One important step in this process is prepping your boat canvas. Here are some helpful tips to ensure your boat canvas is in top shape for all your summertime adventures on the water!
By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to enjoying a summer season full of smooth sailing and memorable adventures on the water with your perfectly prepped boat canvas.
First, start by giving your boat canvas a good cleaning. Use a mild soap, water, and a soft brush to remove any dirt, grime, or mildew that may have accumulated during the off-season. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Next, inspect your boat canvas for any signs of wear and tear. Check for loose seams, holes, or areas where the fabric may be thinning. Look for any other damage that may have occurred during the off-season or last season that was forgotten about. It's important to address any issues now to prevent them from getting worse while out on the water. If you notice any issues, it's best to get them repaired sooner rather than later in order to prevent further damage.
Once your canvas is clean and in good repair, it's time to apply a protective coating. There are a variety of sprays and treatments available on the market that can help protect your boat canvas from the sun's UV rays, water damage, and other environmental factors. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and apply the treatment evenly for best results or reach out to us to waterproof it for you.
