Diane Hofstetter Carol, I just happened to see a test kit for "deadly" mold in one's home. Unfortunately I did not pay a whole lot of attention to it because I had not yet seen your question. It was at the local Ace Hardware. I will try to get over there again tomorrow, but am supposed to be leaving on a trip by noon. If I can get there I will and will email you asap. Do you have an Ace Hardware in your area? The kit was right by the check out counter. diane >From: "Carol Beigel" <crbrpt@bellatlantic.net> >Reply-To: Pianotech <pianotech@ptg.org> >To: <pianotech@ptg.org> >Subject: test for mold? >Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2003 19:19:04 -0400 > >Is there anything like a litmus test for mold?
