Except when its wet. Then losses get pretty significant. When you add aging=
=20
and dirt to the mix it even gets worse. Here, where I live on the northern=
=20
California coast about =BD mile from the ocean its quite damp. I had some=20
window line up for a couple of years and when I took it down I discovered=20
that moss was growing on it! Needless to say I no longer use window line.
