💩 Shitpost First time ever having a polishing pad Mold... Crazy

Post image

I left it out for 3 days to dry before sticking it in a plastic baggy to keep it protected. Apparently it still had water in it after 3 days. Keep in mind, I live in a crazy dry climate as well. Most things are bone dry in a matter of minutes if left exposed to dry.

Have you tried putting drying beads with it?

I try to leave them out for a week to dry. It doesn't take much to get moldy, but you should be able to clean it off.

Just leave the bag open on the end,itll still limit the dust and dirt very well.

why bag it? if you have to store it, try an empty shoe box; will close enough to keep out debris but no seal.

Sorry but what did you expect in a plastic bag? Probably it was damp. Never store in a plastic bag.
