Cabinets; Canvas - Regal 3760 Owner's Manual

CABINETS

Interior cabinetry features a sprayed lacquer clear coat
finish. Use a soft cloth and warm water to clean stains
and finger marks. Stay away from any abrasive
compounds, harsh chemicals and scrubbers.

CANVAS

Boat canvas is in most cases subjected to more severe
punishment than practically any other type of material.
Moisture, dirt and chemicals from industrial fallout, heat,
ultraviolet rays and salt water are all factors which accel-
erate the deterioration of your boat canvas.These elements
can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
The boat top and other canvas supplied on your Regal
boat are manufactured from top quality materials to pro-
vide you with years of trouble free service. The follow-
ing information on the care, cleaning and proper storage
of the fabrics and fasteners that make up your marine
canvas is being provided to help you maintain the ap-
pearance and ease of operation.
Sunbrella is used on most Regal tops, aft curtains, camper
enclosures, bow tonneaus and cockpit covers. Sunbrella
is a woven fabric made from 100% solution dyed acrylic
fiber. It is color fast and will withstand long term expo-
sure to the sun (ultraviolet rays) without excessive fad-
ing.
Sunbrella is a woven fabric. Even though it is treated with
water repellency some "misting" through the fabric is typi-
cal. With new canvas, the greatest potential for leakage is
through the sewn seams. Because Sunbrella and the long
term thread used is synthetic, the holes created by sew-
ing will not swell up and seal when exposed to water as
cotton does. Usually the movement of the fabric in use
will move the fibers enough to seal the holes. You may
apply Apseal or Uniseal to the seams to speed up this
process.
When the canvas is new, the fit will normally be tight. It
is designed this way because Sunbrella stretches as it ages.
The initial tight fit allows for a suitable fit for the life of
the canvas. The Sunbrella fit will vary slightly in the heat,
cold, and rain.
