Moldy BOM?
I've used Bucket of Mud for a couple years now and have not had this problem. I wake up this morning to dip mandrels and my new bottle I've used twice has mold all down the sides and bottom (on the inside). I used it anyway hoping it don't make me sick. Anyone else have this problem?

Mine is also always moldy (actually an algae) but it doesn't alter the product at all (which is an excellent one imho) and it's never made me sick.

(I don't use BOM. Sorry!)

some time back I was really a big fan of BOM... then when I wanted to 'double dip' my mandrels... BOM would not hear of it LOL
so I went back to Bead Separator... but --back to the subject... on the shelf, I have seen rows of big bottles.. 1/2 of them would be green... but not all & they all came in the same shipment... so I aimed for the 'non-green' ones
don't think it should make a difference... contact the company?

well glad it won't make me sick. It sure smelled bad while dipping. I've used BOM for 2 or 3 years and never had this problem before. Weird. I guess as long as it works I'll finish the bottle.

This is the exact reason i stopped using BOM. i now use Alice's bead release and make it up with distilled water.

I worked in clay for many years. We would actually get the clay in a ton at a time and introduce bacteria into the clay to cause the mold. It makes the clay more pliable and slicker to use for throwing and hand building. I use BOM and actually buy the ones with the mold. Have no trouble with it. Most of the clays sour and mold, just like cheese, cottage cheese and buttermilk. There are some molds that are bad (black mold) but there are a lot that are good also. I use it and love the way it coats the mandrels. Everyone to their own. But also I can see someone not wanting to use it, and it does smell sour, but I'm well ventilated so the smell goes up the vent.
