Mold in DAP Spackling Paste
 

I bought some DAP CrackSHOT Spackling Paste a few months ago.
It been stored indoors.

I recently found something dark green growing on the surface.
I scooped the bad material out.

Anyone had that happen?
I am thinking of mixing in a small amount of bleach.

Ditto with the above posts...I'm not sure what effect bleach will have on
the mud as far as bonding , strength , ect...I'd just toss it out...Joint
compound should not be stored for extended periods of time...Buy a smaller
container next time...

Thanks.

I have a large container of sheetrock compound that is a year old with
no mold or fungus on it.
Different brand may be the reason.

p.s. I've had mudd that happened to and even though there was not a vast
amount of black, it had one of the foulest oders I've personally come
across. Take a toilet hole over it any day.

I read someplace that if you want to try to avoid stuff from developing
on it, get the mudd in the bucket flat then dump in water until there's a
very thin layer on top. Just mix it in when you reopen. No personal
experience trying this though.

Really...In 20 odd years in the drywall trade I've never seen mud that is
ANY good stored that long mold or no mold and I have seen Sheetrock brand
mold once in a bucket I forgot about in the cellar...I bet the bucket you
have the mud has seperated and the top is covered with clear syrup and is
the rest is hard unless you added a little water and re-mixed every couple
of months...Try to use it...LOL...

I was at my mom's house yesterday and did find a bucket of sheetrock
compound in the garage.

My brother last used it about 2 years ago and it was separated like
you said, but was still mixable.

Storage temps in the garage often went to about 105 degrees F.
(Houston, Texas)

I was impressed that it had not completely dried out.
