What should I do about old dry mold on wood?
I found some old dried up mold. It's gray colored and hard as rock. It was caused by an old leak which has long since been fixed. Is the mold dead? I tried a chemical mold cleaner. I've seen the stuff work fine on "new" mold, but it was no effective against this dried up stuff. What should I do?

black mold can make you very sick and give you brain damage...i am living proof...use a mouth cover and sand or scrap. be careful to not get it everywhere..mold never is harmless. the spores break off at the slightest breeze and can really do damage to people who are sensitive..you may want to type it into the search and see if a site like about.com can tell you how to get rid of it...good luck!
