Les Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Bisque firing of the tiles will burn off the mold and have no adverse effect on the them. Let the Sheetrock dry vertically and wipe the mold off with a dry cloth. The Sheetrock will look a bit stained, but can be used many times again. If you are mold sensitive, don't use this method for drying. Try a rack open on the bottom to allow even drying at the same time on both top and bottom to avoid warping. At Home Depot, Lowes, etc, in the lighting section you can find a 2'x4' light diffusing grill that is made of tiny open squares. Resting on open metal shelves, this grill gives good support for drying tiles evenly. You can cut the plastic grill to fit open metal shelving.

Marcia Selsor Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 You can get rid of the mold on the sheet rock with a diluted solution of bleach. Spray on and wipe off or leave it dry. My plaster molds get mold on them regularly. I clean them with the bleach solution. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
