Can I save my grape press from this mould?
I have made wine several times with my dad and neighbors. I want to get more into wine making now that I'm living on my own, and my neighbor gifted me his grape press because he's too old to continue making wine (late 70s).
I put it in my shed, not knowing that I had a hole in the roof. The next time I opened up my shed, there was water in the grape press and now there's mould on some of the wooden slats.
Can I salvage this if I just sand it down and clean it really well? I feel horrible and I want to take good care of it, it was really important to my neighbor.
