    Mold on tweed

    Hello, friends.

    It’s the rainy, cold season here in my neck of the woods, and I’m facing a very irritating problem.

    My tweed amp is getting covered on green mold. Nothing else in the man cave is, not even the tweed cases or other tolex covered amps.

    I tried exposing the amp to direct sunlight for a couple hours, but the mold comes back after a day or two.

    What should I do?

    I mentioned elsewhere that if the tweed on that amp is getting moldy, there may be damage happening to other gear that you're unaware of. You should look into a dehumidifier.

    I'm not sure what shellacked is, but it is lacquered.
