<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 310191, member: 54"]I’d like to convert this strong 4 x 6-foot white oak pallet into a dolly after removing the cargo by screwing caster wheels under the four corners as I’ve done with a few other pallets. The problem is the black mold you see. The wood won’t last long enough with the mold in it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve done some googling on how to get rid of the mold and the most attractive solution I’ve found is to use denatured alcohol. I’m not really sure about the application method, am thinking of squirting it on then scrubbing with a very stiff-bristle brush, maybe a wire brush. Since I have a lot of this wood to treat, the process has to be quick. I want to do same with a number of other moldy oak pallets, all from same Amish mill in the Midwest, maybe they store their products outside or something. Anyone with mold-ridding experience?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]102475[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
