When dealing with damp wood, the most important step is to let it dry out and remove excess moisture from the air. Start by vacuuming the moldy area using avacuum cleanerwith a HEPA filter to catch the spores. This will remove any loose debris and prevent it from spreading around your ho...
Preparation:Wood must be dry (moisture content below 12 %), solid, able to absorb, clean, free of resin and dust. For large-pored woods such as walnut, oak, ash, chestnut, elm, mahogany or teak, brush out pore grooves carefully. Sand gradually and in accordance with the gradation, for...
moisturewoodtemperaturerelative humidityhysteresissorption balanceAutomated sorption balances are increasingly used to determine sorption isotherms of hygroscopic materials like wood. The sorption isotherms are constructed based on a number of equilibrium states between a specimen and the surrounding conditioning ...

Oak and softwoods are prone to wheather staining caused by moisture activating mould spores present naturally in the wood. ...
However, the methodological differences (e.g., the inclusion of evapotranspiration water stemming from precipitation stored as soil moisture ‘green water’ and evapotranspiration water stemming from technical ‘blue’ water used for irrigation and the inclusion of all of the withdrawn technical water in...
[KD]:The purpose of kiln-dried lumber is to reduce the moisture content of the wood (19% or less). This coding system is a means to control warping, fungal growth, and other quality features. The kilns or ovens used to dry the wood do not necessarily reach the sustained temperature of...
Drywood Termite Facts Drywood termitesgenerally live, feed and nest in undecayed wood which has a very low moisture content. Unlike subterranean termites, they do not require any contact with the soil in order to live. Thus, they can seriously damage movable wooden objects such as furniture. ...
