Wedging tables haven't been a problem, but numerous cast plaster pieces =
started to get a mold patina. ( patina hell, they looked like a bad skin =
infection )

I tried the bleach route and it made the surface powdery.=20
Now if I ever have the problem I just hit it with Lysol spray. Kills =
what's there, and the residue keeps it from regrowing.=20

What's under the plaster layer ? If it's impermeable to water, the =
plaster will stay wet.=20
You need to find a way to allow the plaster to dry, or at least be as =
dry as possible.
Not only will it do it's job better, it'll reduce mold growth.
