Small Mold Spots

[dkimball80]

I have a lot of tiny mold spots on my interior laps and unfortunately only had one coat of varnish on them before the spots appeared.

The boat is in the water, stored under a roof. I had been covering the boat but once I noticed the mold I've been leaving her uncovered to let the boat breathe.

I tried wiping it off with a rag, then with a tack cloth, and then sanding. This removed some of the spots, but there are still a lot of them there.

Any of you have experience with this? Any trick to getting them off before I resort to scraping?

I had that in the interior bunk area of my Sea Skiff. I washed it off with a solution of dawn dish washing detergent mixed with some chlorine bleach. The bleach will kill the mold and mildew.

Dawn and laundry bleach...the best things ever for wood boats!
