In Response To: Ultraviolet Problems? *Pic* (Mike Nicholson)

: For $150. plus some scrap lumber, I built a 11' X 22' shed. Its covered with
: 6 mil. plastic.
: Currently I have the hull of a Great Auk glassed and filled, and the deck
: still bare wood. Work has ground to a halt after hassles with working in
: the cold.
: Is the boat safe from degradation from sunlight, at least for the duration of
: a New England winter?

Clear polyethylene does not block UV much so if you dont want the deck to yellow I recommend covering it with black film.
