That feeds the mould.


If it is mold, I doubt shop grease would feed it as I
don't think anything has evolved to eat grease just yet.
Wait a few thousand years, and I'm sure they will.

I usually wear blue latex rubber gloves when working with anything
potentially nasty or messy. It's not really for protection but
because I dislike cleaning up everything I touch afterwards. Black
fingerprints on my (music) synthesizer keyboard is not a good thing.
