Musty Odors or Mold If mold has gotten into the wood or lining of your trunk. Here's how we usually deal with it: 1. Strip the trunk of its lining. They are usually lined with paper or cloth. Sometimes this will almost fall off in your hands. Other times it is very difficult to remove, especially in certain cases where cardboard is used in the lid or base of the trunk and glued in. 2. After every trace of lining is removed, wash out the
inside of the trunk with hot soap and 3. Now sand down the inside and vacuum it out. 4. Next, apply at least two coats of water based urethane, letting it dry between coats. You are now ready to reline your trunk and will not be bothered again by that musty odor. Click on the buttons below for more tips.

it sit until it is completely dry. A little time in the sun
won't hurt at this point as sunshine is one of the best
things for killing mold, but watch for warping.
