My tale of woe begins here -

http://mvfullstep.com/Page10.html

The fly-bridge sat for three years on the ground.

The stupid (me) painted the unrepaired parts of the fly-bridge without killing the mold.

It has since grown back right thru the paint turning every surface black.

I have spent the last week in a Tyvek suit, 3M respirator, and eye protection, crawling around the underside of the fly-bridge killing the mold.

My question is do any of the mold inhibitors you can add to paint actually work? I don’t think I can do this again.

Thanks for any advice.

Bumped, just in case a new reader knows about mold additives.

Thanks to all who have viewed the thread.

It would have been so easy to do it right from the start.

Hard lesson learned.

Sounds nasty.

You might have to remove the paint to remove, and kill the mold/mildew. I would ask a professional in the boatyard. Then treat the surface with the proper sealer and repaint the surfaces.

You really want to do this right in case you also end up having a spore issue later on .

Win_88 thank you for your reply.

What is a spore issue?

If I have to remove the paint I’m going to remove the flybridge and have it set on the ground.

Might be 10 grand, but it is what it is. My stupid mistake.

I’ll know in a few weeks.
