While cleaning up after the hurricanes I realized a 100 sheet stack of plywood had been forgotten and is moulding and discoloring. What can I do to kill the mold/fungus,etc? The plywood is now dry and straight but I don't want to have problems with it when I build my house. Advise,Please.

i think if you read between the line.BSer was trying to secure his home and personal belongings and the last thing on his mind was a pile of tarped plywood.kinda like a lady setting her purse ontop the car and then fighting with the kids and the dog to get them in the car,then forgetting and driving off with her purse ontop the car.lol.we've all done things like that

Not being Mr. Snoop or anything but what do you mean by "forgotten"? Forgotten that it was there or forgotten to exchange it or forgotten by somebody?

To SNOOP: evidently you have never been thru an event like the two hurricanes were that hit us.Ilost $100k plus in uninsurable stuff plus a lifetime collection of tractors,cars and many outbuildings. Semi trailers laid over.Our town has 75% of the housing destroyed or to be leveled.A stack of plywood that had the tarp torn by the tree on top isn't your most pressing concern.I'm thin skinned about your post,but be a P***K somewhere else.

I would have to explain my post in the same way that Big Fred did, I don't understand what is meant by the "forgotten" plywood, it's just that simple. Nobody is putting anybody down and you are right in that you are somewhat "thin skinned" (perhaps I would be too). Still "Wondering" and I guess we'll never know the answer to the little mystery. After all, you did make the post.

Sorry, BSer, but I guess I don't understand what was meant by forgotten, either. I would think that in the preparations for a hurricane, plywood would be a pretty precious commodity, and it would be just as important after the hurricane for rebuilding. In reading the original post I couldn't really tell if you had forgotten to cover it, which I could completely understand, or if you had forgotten you had it, which would be a lot harder to understand. I'm still not sure I understand.

And no, we don't have hurricanes up here, just earthquakes, forest fires and volcanic eruptions. Of the three, I think I prefer earthquakes, since you don't have the agony of knowing they are coming and not being able to do anything about it. Same with hurricanes, I don't see how you people in the Gulf coast deal with it, and my sympathies are with you.

Try Borate mixed with salt water. It's what the logs in my home are preasure treated with. It's suppost to be real cheap and works better when wet. My log company recommends it for retreating checked logs, gets in and protects it from rot, mildew and bugs. I don't know the mix but try a Goggle search.

I have removed "black inch long mold" with straight Clorox. It has been five years and it has not come back. I had to use it in a confined space, so it was a bear to use. If you have this outside it should be easy to clean it with the Clorox. Lots of luck .Tom

I spray with Copper Napthanate. Does a great job.

If Dursban was still available, lightly spraying with it would help. If the wood is used in area with enough moisture for the mold to be active, the wood will rot anyway. Get the stuff dry as soon as possible and keep it that way.
