mouldy mirror

[robagar]

gah, my primary's gone mouldy. Must have put the dust cap on before the dew had evaporated

Any top tips for removal and / or prevention?

cheers

Check out the thread under beginners for details of how to wash your mirror. Good news is that aluminium doesn't go mouldy; the crap on might... give it a wash and some TLC.

cheers, I was wondering if there's a way of preventing mould. I guess spraying with clove oil's not a good idea =)

Hi Rob,
Just cleaned my mirror - it was very dull looking, not mouldy.
Washed it in soapy water and the gunk disappeared immediately.
Check out attached doc for tips in Beginners Start Here section
("Cleaned my 12" mirror tonight" thread)
Cheers
