Hi everyone, if you've noticed I've actually stopped making any customs for quite some time. The main reason being :
My customs are growing MOLD!!! I don't use any sealants for my customs and I've tried washing the mold off using soap and putting them in the sun to dry but the mold will grow back in a few weeks/months time. Does anyone know how to stop the mold from growing and not destroy my work? Please help! |

its possible its a storage issue. I have my joes and similar figures stored in a big unused store room(attic conversion) but theres alot of drafts up there and I noticed that ones that got this dark spodges on them were the indy jones figures I think its cause of the soft plastic used and the atmosphere in the room

You could also try climate-controlled display cases.
These look good but I've never used them: Zone display cases :: Welcome

I was hoping something less expensive will work... sigh. Will try removing the mold with the Kosher salt and vinegar and sunning it 1st. Hope it stops growing back. If not I'm giving up on customizing :( ... maybe just do some kit-bashes. |
