My dehumdifer quit this summer an some of coon boards an flesh beam have white mold, i may have posted this before. But is wiping off with a little peroxide or wd40 best an ok to do it a few days before a coon on boards ? Not interested in spend tons time on power wash an dry old greasy boards

thats what i'd do

all that jello powder's gettin to ya.

LOL

Soap and water, then set em outside to dry.

Those boards are pretty much junk now with that mold on them.

You'd best have you a bonfire tonight, and then order some new boards !!!

Straight distilled vinegar kills mold and mildew. Let sit for about 15 wipe off then wipe with a damp cloth or paper towel

Diluted bleach in a spray bottle and let it sit in the sun for a while. Kills the mold and gets the spots off the board.

I just concerned about the bleach smell or wd 40 get on fur, not want bleach smell on it, I have some spray toilet or tile cleaner that cost $1, could use , that has bleach in it.what about wd40?

i say go for it,and if it don't work you can just burn the excess of with a torch.

Coonman220, please click the link in my previous post and read the responses on this exact question when you posted it 3 weeks ago. Lots of good responses in there. If you're worried about bleach smell, I wouldn't suggest using toilet bowl cleaner.

Spray and wipe, it works for me

Read a hurricane related article about mold removal. Writer said the bleach just bleaches mold but does not always kill it. Forgot what they said to use. Make sure your mold doesn’t return in a few weeks.

Thought I was having Déjà vu

i would be more worried about health concerns from the mold.have you been breathin o.k?have a fever??you look awful pale.

Memory loss and reading comprehension may be symptoms of mold spots inhalation.

Yeah I bet he has 6 or 7 threads in the last 6 months titled "DP coon bait" all asking the same thing. I hear too much whiskey mixed with jello powder wreaks havoc on the memory.

Someone say wd40, ? Good idea an kill mold, what happen if mold spores get fur? I mean u can just wipe it off

Vinegar

Viagra

That wont be very helpful. It will just make the board too hard to push a pin in.

You’d be fine it’s not supposed to last more than three hours or you have to call a doctor or all your friends, whichever is most appropriate

I concerned about what mold spores could do after just wipe off with rag on numerous coon pelts on board

I think you are over concerned,(if you have numbers of boards),.set aside some and be confident that you have addressed the problem.

Wipe them down with gasoline then dry them off with a match.

Seriously dude, you're overthinking this. Just wipe em down with some WD-40 and set them out in the sun on a sunny day to dry em out. Mold requires moisture, so you gotta get em good and dry. Gonna need a new dehumidifier or a good fan for your fur drying area.

LOL, I love your thread,Coonman.

baking soda and water, scrubbed them down and let lay outside a couple days. this is the worst year weve had for rain and water. first time ive had mold on my boards

I just concerned how long peroxide or wd40 well remain on boards or flesh beam as I wont wipe them till later Nov as mold well happen again like today even in cellar

yep

Ttt

I don't understand what your saying. Lol

Try repost topic again , bring to top

Dave, Greg Schroeder of FHA recommends spraying WD 40 on beaver leather if there is some mold.

It's not going to hurt coon hides if it gets on them.

If I was to wipe them off this wkend , what be best to use, alcohol ? Or peroxide or wd 40 an let dry by fan a day , coulndt alcohol kill all mold ? Or mixed peroxide an water ? Just don't wanna leave color on wood an get fur in month now

yep

Get some soap and water and wash the crap off and stop making this such a big freakin deal about It.

Agreed

i'd wait an hour before pluggin it back in.

Bleach diluted with water

LOL!!!!

Mold requires a food source and moisture. The food source is the wood, obviously you can't get rid of the food source. You have to get rid of the moisture and kill the mold. Get your boards dry somehow, like setting them out in the sun. Wipe them down with something that will kill the mold, diluted bleach will work fine. If you put them back where they were without taking care of the moisture problems in your storage area, plan on them getting moldy again.

And were still beating a dead beam LOL

It dry there now. Maybe a lil wipe with wd 40 an dry by fan. Would wd,40 evaporate fast ? Hurt anything to lay back on board pile the next day ? Someone say to never spray it on ignition lock. I did once. Dirt from trapping gum up, say it dont evaporate ? Supposed penetrate wood an kill mold

ttt

If wd40 evaporated it would make a terrible lube.

Way off topic, wd40 is a terrible lube.

if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump its butt when it hopped too but that's not gettin this toxic mold off any faster.

I wont disagree with that...but still. They do make a bunch of specialized stuff now that is pretty useful for certain things. They have dry ptfe, silicone, some other stuff that is wd40 brand. The original stuff is garbage but i use the specialized wd40 stuff for our bike chains. I use ballistol on squeeky hinges and things that need light lube.

He already did he's going to defrost his freezers.

Coomman220 just take your fleshing knife and scrape off the mold on your beam and you will be good to go.

But wont the mold spores get all over the knife and then get transferred to all the coon hides and then just spread it to all the other boards?

LOL

ttt

I will only use 3in1 oil on the ignition lock on my coon boards, anything else is asking for trouble.

Can't you just dye and wax them along with your traps?

I think coonman 220 Is just playing us.

You are absolutely right Beav.
I think he just post for the laughs

Pcr2 are you laughing so much over this thread..... that all that comes out is ...TTT

I really think he is gone loopy with all the WD40 fumes he has breathed in.

dude's snortin it and jello dust.

does more trollin than James but at least he's fun at it

Does Paul hire him to keep us entertained with his questions ?
This thread my go to 100,000 views if this keeps up.

free membership i think

Really now how do you expect to get the mould out of those smiley teeth of yours if you clean those mould boards

Just curious. Were you a bully in elementary school, too?

That aND dillholes

Why not get a common paint scraper or other similar tool and scrape the moldy areas and then use soap and water or bleach and water to clean the boards good and then put outside in the wind to dry.
I have boards I store on the trusses of my garage and have had them for 30 plus years and mold is not an issue. Find dryer air places to store or to dry fur for that matter is your dehumidifier is not working.

Bryce

1850 hits and we are still scrapping mold. LOL

I went though everthing yesterday that use for fur processing, used hydrogen peroxide, on mold, include some belly wedges an flesh beam, it came back in few spots the white after dry an did again, let air out overnite an stack piles today, it is in good place in winter or cold low humidity weather to dry hides but nothing can do in humid weather as no place else to store, the dehumdifer was a big expensive one at $100 to $200, not just to many years back, I doubt we'll be buy a new one anytime ever

Half a bottle of Dawn and a dishwasher always works for me.

U like suds?

Really its time to burn the wooden stretchers abd switch to wire stretchers!

I'd just like to point out that coonman220 asked what he should use to clean his boards on two separate posts, then chose an option that NOBODY suggested on this post, hydrogen peroxide. This could've been resolved after I posted the link to his first post about 3 posts into this thread. But at least it's good entertainment. We all need something to keep us busy until season starts.

Think about this for all you smart guys, even if dave doesn't choose to take your advice, he makes posts that are relevant to many people who read this forum. Thus when you answer his questions without the smartass replies, you are helping many other people who read and don't post. If there were anyone out there concerned about mold on their fleshing beams or wooden stretchers, they certainly have received a load of good advice here on it. (if they can sort through the trash) This of many of connman220's other posts as well,,, I bet you now know to avoid Chevy Colorados, cheap waders & employment through temp agencies,,, you know many bait recipes and the proper way to defrost a freezer. Cut the guy a break. He doesn't pick on anyone here.

https://trapperman.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/userposts/id/7428/view/started/page/3 - read through there. You'll find more good info than half the other trapping forums have in their archives! lol

That would be the problem, I have noticed. Just like my kids, ask for advice and ignore it.

I was going to use wd40 but after trying on a board. Decide not to, thought about bleach an water mix suggested but didn't like bleach smell or how long linger, was thinking peroxide would work an mellow smell an evaporate an dry fast

Even you have to admit this has gone a bit over the top.

Nope. He's just very selective.

Rotflmao.

Sorry, just cleared all these bubbles. ...peroxide might work better.

Sunlight kills chlorine FYI

I sprayed some beaver boards that had some green mold on them a couple years ago with diluted bleach and wiped them down. That seemed to take care of the problem.

Straight household bleach outside+stiff acid brush+1 hour sun + repeat tomorrow- the bleach won't harm the wood and must soak into it before scrubbing with stiff brush, if mold is over 1/16" deep scrape with drywall scrapper or such before applying the bleach. as always wear protection and uncommon sense. If needed use garden hose to rinse while cleaning. Light sanding after thoroughly dry might be in order

I can't believe this post still has traction!!!

Yeah. Whatever happened to this thing call trapping?

bully.

It got rubberized?

Whose da bully?

TTT for coonman220

LOL, Adc.

What does coonman220 do with the coons he traps/hunts? Does coonman220 eat the coon? Does he have the fur tanned and make hats/masks?He has a fleshing beam/boards so he must not sell them in the round/green.Can you make any money trapping coon?I would assume its a lost proposition right now but maybe you could use it as a write off on your taxes.That is if you file taxes.

bleach works better on nonporous materials use white vingear wait 60 mins give it a wash should be good

I swore this happened last year too. Thanks!
