Lipiew asked:


I have a wax figure i would like to cast into metal bColloidald to coat it with some sort of ceramic material except clay to fire melt the wax out leaving a perfect mold for a metal pour. Is this Colloidal silica liquid and I add sand to it or is it the other way around. Or do I need to use something completely different.

Can I kill mold without ripping out the wall?

Lindsey asked:


I had an ice dam on my house, over the past couple of days water has been slowly trickling into my laundry room which has old plaster walls covered in wall paper and paint. The wall and the edge of the ceiling is wet and a little soft in places, and I think mold might be starting to grow, in some places the water running down the walls is orange (I don’t know why, possibly dye from the wallpaper, or something in the wood framing, the house is very old). I wanted to remodel this room eventually but I don’t have the time or money to do it right now. Is there any way to kill or prevent mold growth on and in the walls without ripping them out?

I was thinking of using a spray on the walls … but I have a feeling this is only superficial and that there could still be growth behind the plaster.

I’d just like to get some opinions.

I’ve been exposed to black mold over about a year because ive been cleaning out my grandparents house and the upstairs is filled with it. And over the past 2 monthe i’ve been getting really bad times where i could barely breathe and wheeze alot ive also had really bad pains in my kidney area and top of my side. I was hoping somebody could tell me if this might be from the mold or maybe something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated because its been getting worse and worse. Thanks

I can use bleach to get rid of the mold stains, but it usually comes back in a week. Is there anything out there that will do a better job than bleach and doesn’t require that I use a gas mask?
