[ARC5] Mildew Removal

[John Hutchins]

Suggest scrubbing bubbles followed by and large quantity of distilled 
water using a hand pump sprayer, paint isle at home depot, that stuff 
eats dirt and mildew. Others may have better suggestions.  I had a bc221 
AK that had bad case of mildew -  on and in the case and under the 
chassis.  It had fungal proof all over it.   Had to de-ox the switches,  
fixed it right up.
