I am a handbuilder, and I dry my pieces very slowly. I use pieces of drywall for my ware boards, and cover the pieces on them with plastic, and usually place them on shelves that also have plastic draped over them. I find that especially lately, a fine, dusty black mold forms on the boards under the wet pieces. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, what do you do to prevent it and/or clean it up? I am not sure how hazardous this type of mold is (is it the actual, scary black mold??), but I am pretty sure I don't want to be breathing in mold all the time if I can avoid it! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! ~lahla
