Wikipedia confirms that. Might not want to use it on printed matter. Bill Hawkins -----Original Message----- From: Dave or Debbie Metz Sent: Sunday, August 30, 2009 3:46 PM Dave, etal, If you can find it, 10% or greater hydrogen peroxide will kill it too. (Store variety is only 3%) Check with the phone book for a company that advertises "demolding" or mold removal in houses That is the ingredient they use and it works fantastically on wood, but as it isn't effective on drywall. However, it might be worth a long shot try. When you get above 30% my understanding is that DHS is watching very carefully. The other thought is to get hold of of an ozone machine. In any case, I have not tried either personally. 73's dave ------------------------------ Message-ID: <16596150.1251674551069.JavaMail.root@elwamui-ovcar.atl.sa.earthlink.net> Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2009 16:22:31 -0700 (GMT-07:00) From: Richard Dillman To: Old Tube Radios Subject: Unknown Paddle Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Can anyone help me identify the paddle shown in the photos at the link below?

My ARRL handbooks were closing up my nose when I would browse through them. I wiped them down with white vinegar and put them out in hot sun for a day. No problem since, plus they look cleaner :-) bob...w2ami x wn2ami 1962 -----Original Message----- On Behalf Of David Stinson Subject: Saving Paper from Mold The roof leaked. Some irreplaceable books and papers got wet, then molded. I've dried them completely and brushed away all the mold a fine brush can remove. While some pages were lost beyond recovery, most are still readable. Thanks.

I think you're right, Dennis. The thing weighs a ton, which is a good thing. It actually got me to use a paddle and a keyer for the first time. Still getting used to the arrangement.

I have gotten a supply and have diluted some to 3% solution and another batch to 8% solution for spraying vegetables to rid them of pests. Take care with the 35% solution as it is rather dangerous and recommended you wear suitable gloves when handling to avoid possible damage. I can supply the source but will have to dig it up. I don't have the address handy at the moment. Take care, Ken N5CM ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Hawkins" To: "Old Tube Radios" Sent: Sunday, August 30, 2009 6:10 PM Subject: RE: Saving Paper from Mold > Ah, seems to me that strong peroxide is a bleach.
