FAQ
What does the Record brand specialize in?
Record specializes in producing solvents, wood preservatives, and RV antifreeze products used widely for general boat maintenance, surface refinishing work, and seasonal winterization tasks. The brand offers genuinely practical, affordably priced maintenance chemicals well suited to everyday boat care routines throughout the season and beyond. This makes Record a reliable choice for budget-conscious boat owners.
What is Record Copper II preservative used for?
Record Copper II Green Preservative is a specialized wood treatment product specifically used to protect exposed wood surfaces on boats and docks from rot, ongoing decay, and damaging insect activity over time, particularly in areas regularly exposed to moisture and outdoor weather conditions year-round. Regular reapplication helps extend the lifespan of exposed wood surfaces.
Is Record RV antifreeze safe for drinking water systems?
Record's non-toxic RV antifreeze formula is specifically designed to be safe for use within freshwater plumbing systems, effectively protecting pipes from freeze damage without contaminating water lines, provided the system is properly flushed out before returning it to regular drinking water use in spring. Always flush the system thoroughly before resuming normal water use in spring.
Can Record solvents be used for fiberglass repair prep?
Yes, Record acetone and lacquer thinner are commonly used by boat owners to clean and properly prepare fiberglass surfaces before applying new gelcoat or paint, helping effectively remove old finishes, wax buildup, and other surface contaminants that could otherwise interfere with proper adhesion later. Proper surface prep like this generally leads to a longer-lasting finish.
Is Record Varsol the same as mineral spirits?
Varsol functions as a brand-specific trade name for a mineral spirits-type solvent product, commonly used for general cleaning and degreasing tasks around the boat that are quite similar to what you'd expect from a standard mineral spirits product purchased elsewhere on the market. Both work well for general cleanup tasks around the boat and trailer.
