moldy drywall slabs

Louise,

I work in the building trades hanging wallpaper and doing interior
painting so I deal with mildew on drywall all the time. Just spray some
bleach on it and it will quickly disappear. At least it should. You
might have to wipe it off with a sponge as well. The only way that mold
could be growing is if you have moisture, so the drywall must not be as
dry as you think when you put it away.

Hi All;
Could someone explain to me, why, after using my drywall boards to set
up my
slabs, are they now growing mold on them? I've used them for the past
year
or so and never had them grow mold. I dry them well after use, so that's
not
the problem. Is there a time limit as too how long they can be useful
for?
It's not like it costs a great deal to replace them it's just that it's
a
pain to do them, tape all the edges and all that stuff! So if someone
can
explain this me I would appreciate it.

Louise in cloudy but warmish Steveston Village B.C.
