Spaulted wood Mold?
ber643:
No, no, Minuteman, the stuff you sent me was fine and good to go. Well, this is fine too but is still active - he did put it in a zip-loc bag though. It is some stuff another generous gent (different forum) sent me from CA - but it's from a tree he just cut down and cut up, and he didn't know much about spaulted wood, besides that other folks would like to have it. He was trading big chunks of it, out there, for stuff he could use but offered to send me some cut scraps. I was tickled to get them too.
That sounds like a good idea, Pat - a glass jar - like making sun-steeped tea, (only without the liquid). Luckily I learned that lesson with the glass table, the easy but graphic way. John Scifres said it made him cringe (which it did me too after reading what he added afterwards), that, by the way, broken glass tables make great knapping material - that was enough of a lesson for me - LOL I've got to get me a longer work bench, or only do one limb at a time!

Bernie, You could dip it in Vinergar and let it dry. That's how you kill mold in bathrooms before you paint. Bleach will not do it.

That might be a good sort of "Double whammy" to put on that old mold, and vinegar is pretty cheap (or was - LOL). Do a vinegar dip and then the sun jar treatment for drying. Thanks, mullet.

Not really sure what it is, but if it is a fungi, try aplying Austrailian Tea tree oil on it. Make sure it says it is 100% Alternifolia.
It is the strongest over the counter anti fungal, and anti bacterial you can buy . The stuff is amazing. You read all it can do, and it sounds like snake oil, but it really works. Also try listerine. Or just plain alcohol, or bathroom disinfectant. Used to be a product called Apinol. Made from turpentine. Don't know if it was a good anti fungal, or not, but sure worked great on infections. Havenn't seen or heard of in ages.
