hi joe,
just curious... couldnt you have given the mold-infested posters a
bleach bath of some kind to both kill and remove the dark mold?
Foxing is a type of mold (not as worrisome as the black, i know) but
i know that bleaching and washing removes that kind of critter.
best.

Hi, Andrea, from Joe B.
After Katrina I discovered that a few posters had gotten damp at
the bottom. There was mold on several that were framed (including,
sob!, a half-sheet for "A Christmas Story") but, curiously, none
developed on some linen-backed ones that I had rolled in the
storage unit.
However, upon advice from those "in the know" after Katrina, I
destroyed the posters with mold-- as a safety measure.
You are right to be wary. That mold is a destroyer.

There was a mansion that got black mold and the people ended up
having to leave all their possessions there and just go. Long
story about the insurance company and they collected BUT here's my
question:
If any of us got black mold, what would be the fate of our
posters? Have any of you ever had experience with household mold
and what were the results? Can black mold be removed? (These
people had to bag items of evidence so it didn't spread). Would
whole pieces have to be removed/replaced or would the whole poster
be doa?
Fortunately, the pictures didn't show any posters, so it didn't
effect my sleep that night. These people had beautiful antique
furniture, etc. and apparently, the mold took over the house and
its contents. Now THAT'S scary!
