Hey guys:
In all the dry weather we've had here in the NE (Yeah, right) some shelving in the basement acquired a LOVELY layer of mold.
The shelving is steel Gorila Racks with particle board decking. Nothing else down there is the least bit moldy--only the particle board, which surprised me, considering all the icky chemicals involved.
My thoughts are:
- Take the shelves out on a bright sunny day (yeah, right), to kill the mold, then oil-base primer followed by "Kitchen and Bath" paint, hoping to score some from the Borg Oops pile.
- Replace the 1/2" P-board with 1/2" BC Yellow Pine plywood. I've quite a lot of plywood scraps down there and none of them are moldy.
- Something else?
What do you guys think?
