Mold on wax cylinders

From: Laura Smith <*lhksmith<-a*> Date: Monday, December 22, 1997 · lhksmith<-a

I got a query from a patron who has a number of wax Edison cylinders
which have mold due to water damage from a flooded basement. Does
anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the mold without
damaging the wax cylinders? Thanks for your help,
