MagicGuy 0 #1 July 15, 2009 I have what appears to be a small, round soda stain on my container. It's dark like soda.. we had a boogie a couple weeks ago and I think someone may have spilled it on my rig. My question is, what is a good way to get this stain out without damaging my container? The thing is like new which is why the stain is annoying me. It's on a royal blue portion of the container. Looking for both a soap AND a cleaning tool that isn't going to harm the rig. Thanks for any suggestions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
likestojump 3 #2 July 15, 2009 If you can localize the area then use shout and a toothbush. first wet the area for a few minutes, then shout it, then wait some more and then use a toothbrush to wash the stain away. Rinse very thoroughly. this only works if you can isolate the part that you are washing. Otherwise you will need to disassemble the whole rig...

mnskydiver688 0 #4 July 17, 2009 For future reference, go find an old R.I. rig maybe a Flexon with the Amptron fabric. My first rig had it. Worked like a charm. I think they may have even used in their marketing approach.Sky Canyon Wingsuiters Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary73 10 #5 July 20, 2009 Definitely take it to your rigger. If the stain is on the reserve portion of the container, have your rigger open it up to make sure the soda (or whatever) didn't soak in and form a sticky mass inside the reserve canopy fabric. Heard of that happening a few years ago. Found on scheduled repack; probably would have been a fatality otherwise. If it's not near the reserve then it'll probably just take a little soaking and light scrubbing to fix it up.
