Wondering if these splotches are something to worry about - other than cosmetic? The splotches don't scratch off with a fingernail & I'd assume a bleach solution could do damage to the canopy fabric? Will the algae or mold cause pre-mature degradation of the material? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

In the future its prolly easier to do preventative care on your kites like washing them off and drying them before you put them away. _________________ I heart dangling Wind Slither Since 04 Mar 2005 2620 Posts The 503 METAL Sun Mar 06, 11 10:14 am     Not sure exactly what your looking at, but I know some of the organic muck at Rooster will stain your canopy, as will the diatomic soup at the coast... I think you just have to go with it.
