What about using a mildewcide that can be bought from a paint store. I read
where these come in "packets" which readily mix in paint or water. Spraying
such a concoction of mildewcide/water into and around the bilge should
sweeten the air du joir (sp?).
By the way Sam, where'd you find the info about the proper size flag to use
and all the mounting hardware? Currently I don't have either but I'd love
to be able to fly the Stars n' Stripes also.
