Mold! Yuuuucccckkkkkk!!!!!

<< < (3/5) > >>

CheffoJeffo:
A while back (2 years ago?), I picked up a couple of cabs that had significant mold issues in the marquee area.

At the time, I did not have any bleach at hand, so I chose to use Tilex (which I did have at hand) ... worked like a freaking charm (although the odor was a little overpowering for a few days). Seal it with some Zinser and Bob's your uncle.

I wasn't entirely clear on your initial report -- does the mold extend through the bottom of the panel in question ?

fjl:
If its hot where you currently live, you can also air it out and have the moldy area be hit by the sun. Mold doesn't thrive in dry and hot areas.

Hoopz:
Fire would fix it too.

Very dangerous!!!..... It doesn't thrive in hot dry areas, but it's also not killed by hot and dry! all that will do is dry it out and spread the mold spores everywhere in your cabinet, your game room, your house, your lungs!! Lethal!!  and they spread like wildfire if they get a chance. Keep it damp and treat it with the bleach.

The strength of the bleach is actually not as important as some people have suggested. In tests, it's been proven that a cup full of domestic strength bleach in a gallon of water, is just as effective at killing the mold as any higher concentration. Giving it more of a dose, is a waste of time and bleach. Unless you're trying to bleach the stain out of the wood I suppose.

I would say to use a combination of the two methods described here.

1 - Use Tilex and then let it air out, so that all of the mold is pretty much gone.
2 - Now that it is a bit safer to handle, use a breathing mask and cut the bottom part off OUTDOORS so that you won't breathe any mold spores in.
3 - Then replace the board.
