[HELP! Rehabbing a kiln after a hurricane]

Thank you, great input! I'll start wire wheeling today! And, you are right about needing a brand new lid support, that one is obsolete now.

Thank you all for the great input! I'm getting the impression that these babies are tanks, virtually bullet proof! So excited that there is something that our many and extreme hurricanes can't destroy!!

[HELP! Rehabbing a kiln after a hurricane]

I had been saving for a Skutt KS 1027 for over a year when a new acquaintance said she'd GIVE me one because it had been through Hurricane Florence and had definitely been flooded. After talking to Skutt via phone, I just ordered 3 new 3 heat switches and 5 plugs. They thought that was a good start and would probably  do the trick. My questions now are:

1) Does anyone know the best way to get rid of this weird mold growing on the lid?(see pic)

2) What is the best way to clean up the rusted metal latches etc? (see pics)

3) What is the best way to clean up the rust and mold inside the red boxes? (see pics)

THANK YOU for any help you can provide on this!
