Mold isnt all that easy to identify.
Many things look like mold .... like accumulations of 'air pollution specs', artillery fungus, etc. X14 (available in grocery stores) and of course chlorox .... only kills the mold and leaves a residue that gets 'eaten' by something else. . Strong caustic detergents containing lye (extreme caution) or sodium silicates such as "tuff-eNuff" .... (made in S. Florida) available through West Marine will DISSOLVE the cells. If X-14 doesnt 'so the trick' go to a janitorial supply and get a strong caustic detergent - (read the safety precautions). "Artillery fungus" is a common attacker of unprotected/unwaxed gelcoat and other boat surfaces. It looks like a haze of "little black spots". You'll need a strong caustic detergent to dissolve it. For recurring infections of artillery fungus, wipe on one of the clear non-greasy "athletes foot" remedies .... or any compound containing TIN. |
