NEWARK, DELAWARE - It’s
easy to understand how inside
painted walls become soiled. But
what causes the dirty-lookmg
discoloration on outside painted
walls, well out of the reach of
sticky-fingered children?
A look under a microscope may
show that some of that “dirt” is
actually mildew, says Delaware
extension building specialist
Ernest Walpole. Mildew is a black
discoloration caused by a fungal
growth on the stain. You can
recognize active mildew under a
microscope or high-powered
magnifying glass by its thread-like
growth. A simpler test to
distinguish mildew from dirt is to
apply of few drops of household
bleach to the stain. Mildew should
bleach out m a few minutes.
Mildew needs moisture to grow.
It occurs both inside and outside of
houses. Outside it is most common
behind trees and shrubs where air
movement is restricted, and also
on areas where dew forms first and
stays longest. These are areas that
cool off rapidly, that are unheated,
and that are protected from direct
sunlight.
Some paints are more suscep
tible than others to mildew attack.
Considering pigments, zinc oxide
inhibits mildew, whereas titanium
dioxide has very little inhibiting

effect. With oil-base paints mildew
attacks extenor flat paint more
severely than extenor enamel.
Paints containing linseed oil are
Very susceptible to mildew.
Of the water-based paints,
acrylic latex is fairly resistant to
mildew. Porous latex paints are
affected severely.
Mildewcides can be added to
most paints by either the
manufacturer or the paint dealer.
Mildewcides are poisonous to the
mildew fungus. For best mildew
resistance, choose a pamt with
some natural resistance and add a
mildewcide.
There is no point in painting over
mildew-discolored pamt unless you
kill the mildew. Use a sponge or
bristle brush and rubber gloves to
scrub the affected surface with a
solution made of one-third cup of
detergent, one quart of household
bleach, and three quarts of water.
Do not mix bleach with a detergent
containing ammonia; the fumes of
the resultant mixture would be .
poisonous.
When the surface is mildew-free,
rinse with a hose. Let dry and paint
immediately with a resistant pamt
containing added mildewcide. A
cleaned surface can be recon*
laminated if left several days
before repainting. For new wood or
bare spots use a recommended

According to State FFA
Executive Secretary, John K
Grover, agricultural proficiency
and other awards will be presented
to outstanding members, and
chapters will receive Superior
Chapter. Safetj and Building Our
American Communities awards.
Garden State Degrees will be
conferred upon 32 FFA members
who have qualified for the highest
state degree as a result of their
occupational and leadership
achievements. -
In addition to student
recognition, several adults and
groups are to be cited for their
service to the FFA. Six adults will
receive the Honorary Garden State
primer containing a mildewcide
before applying the finish coat of
pamt.
Blue stain is the common name
for another microscopic fungus
that attacks wood below the pamt.
If the wood is wet the fungus will be
active and the blue stain will
discolor or show through the pamt.
Dry-wood may contain blue stain
fungi with no ill effects. As long as
the moisture content remains
below 20 percent the fungus 'will
remain inactive.
Active blue stain problems
generally indicate a moisture
problem. Water may be coming
from ram, roof leaks, leaks around
windows, or it may be the result of
excessive moisture inside the
house working its way through the
walls. Household bleach may
remove the surface staining but it
is not a permanent cure. For that,
the cause of the moisture problem
must foe ehmnated, says Walpole.'
To repamt after blue stain, first
remove the old pamt and let the
surface dry. Apply a water
repellent preservative, then cover.

as for mildew.
Reddish brown paint
discoloration is caused by rust,
usually from rusty nail heads. The
only solution, according to
Walpole, may be to countersink the
nails, caulk the holes, and spot
prime before repainting.
For new construction or repairs,
prevention is the best policy. Use
non-corroding nails such as high
quality galvanized, or
stainless steel.

resin. If the resin hasn’t been
by high-temperature kiln drying, it'
can form a brown stain that bleeds
through the paint. To cure this
problem, remove the existing
paint, apply a good oil-base
primer, and then a finish coat. The
old practice of applying shellac
over the knots is no longer
recommended as this has been
found to result in early paint
failure.
As with rust, prevention is the
best policy for dealing with resin
stain. The problem seldom occurs
when kiln-dried lumber is used.
