Are there any filaments that look like PLA-CF without the added CF?

Specifically looking at Grey Lave and Purple Iris colors.

I Don’t want to take a chance with CF ‘dust’ when handling - I may be over cautious.

What works best remediating mold spores on insulation surface? Remove and replace the top couple inches? AI says don't split batts: replace full batt, or HEPA vacuum and mist RMR-141

Mold was on the sheeting above the insulation. I tested the insulation and confirmed there are mold spores on the surface. I have two layers of batts, run perpendicular to each other. Only the top shows mold spores.

To save some work hauling bags, and buying lots of insulation. I'd like to gently peel the insulation apart and roll and bag. Then replace with some new batts - also split to improve coverage.

Would this work, or is this a bad idea?

Looking online, AI says don't split the batts due to making spores airborne, but wouldn't pulling the top layer batt off do the same thing? Also, AI said I could HEPA vacuum the top and then mist with RMR-141 - that seems like a nice alternative.

Background:

The insulation was never wet.

Mold was from condensation on the sheathing due to too little air flow.

I've added additional airflow (vents), and a ridge vent humidi-stat (sp?) fan.

Is there a SubReddit to ask questions on how US Bonds would react to selective US default?

Specifically how Treasury STRIPs would react to a selective default where the US pays a lower rate than the bond was issued at. (ie: 4% coupon, but US says I'm only paying 1% coupon on these now)

Help Me Understand if this is Mold or Mildew? Not sure if I need to replace Insulation in Attic?

Not certain if I need to remove the discolored batts due to surface discoloration (mildew?).

Thinking I may be able to just peel-off the discolored 1" or so - if it is mildew and not mold.

This discoloration is only in 1/4 of the attic - where the decking is discolored as well.

I'm looking to remediate then add more ventilation.

Help me decide: Reserve 42/49 or 57/64? Presently have Alpinist CL2. Will be on a Roubaix with 32mm GP5000AS TR tubeless setup. Riding is road only - rolling hills, but mostly flat.

Mostly will be solo rides, but would like to have improved aero performance over my Alpinist.

Do these wheels have much difference in:

  • Cross-wind sensitivity?
  • Aero performance?

Looking at DT180 hub.

Not sure what the Tune w/ Carbon spoke upgrade would really do except lighten my wallet by $1000.

TY!
