Cabin roof growth

[cjreardon]

I have had my 1975 c-22 for five years. I keep getting these tan, chrystal mounds inside the cabin. They look like a bug nest, but i can find no evidence of bugs when I clean them. I can only assume that something is leaching out of the fibergalss. They seem to form mostly over the winter storage. Has anyone else dealt with these "mini-stalagmites"?

Hey Carl,
Any possibility in getting photos of this?
I'd love to see what you are talking about!

look something like this?



I had them when I got my 75 C-22 also.

Actually, these would be considered stalagtites as they are "hanging tight" to the ceiling. Stalagmites grow upward and "provide a mighty base" beneath their corresponding stalagtite.

I have what appear to be the same sort of things as Mario posted growing on the wall/floor in the port locker next to my keel pin bolts.

I got that on the ceiling in my workshop last year. The words "alien" and "pod" come to mind. Probably because I spent way to much time at the local movie theatre as a child of the mid 50's and early 60's.

Some sort of crystaline life form, Captain.

Klaatu barada nikto, indeed.

Mario's picture is what I was describing. That same area and over the shelf on the port side by the gangway. By the way, I store the boat with the bow pointing north, and the stuff seems to form on the western side. I clean them off and they keep reoccuring. It sounds like a Chrysler thing, and an ailien workshop.

Could it be a salt water or salt air thing
