Alarming

I’m expecting an Avallo EZ Accumonitor in the mail any day. It is for my cabinet humidor. My problem is while I was inspecting my 7 drawer humidor it had a white fuzzy mold looking substance on the bottom of every drawer. My humidors hold the humidity level between 66% and 71% fairly regular. What I need to know is should I be very concerned about the fuzz, and what to do about it.

If you can post pic's it would be very helpful in determing exactly what it is.

I have heard and read in a lot of places that a easy wipe down of denatured alcohol should kill any mold that is growing but that requires finding another place for your babies.

It doesn't sound good. Sounds like too much humidity. Pics would be good to see it firsthand.

Yea I have empted it out. I’m going to whip it down good with de-natured alcohol. Then I will let it dry and re-season it. Hope that works.

That should do the trick, just keep an eye on it from now on.

Eek!! Sounds like a dilemma!

RonC told me I didn’t need to re-season it again. The presents of mold says it has too much moisture. That sounds reasonable to me. Thanks for the help guys. I knew I could count on my Brothers. :thumbsup:
