I checked mine at the time and it was fine.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">However, a few months later, I opened my blue Inka Gold and found that it had indeed gone moldy too!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The mold was not on all the jars&#8230; just the Blue, so I did some research to figure out what was wrong and how to fix\/avoid it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Apparently, if you dip your finger into the pot of Inka Gold, you can introduce bacteria from your fingers that you picked up from the environment&#8230; and because this product is water based, and has wax and stuff in it, mold can grow on it&#8217;s surface&#8230; especially in a warm or moist environment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">But&#8230; you don&#8217;t have to throw your moldy product away! Simply remove the mold with a scraping tool of some sort, and the clean the surface with an antibacterial wipe, or a cloth with disinfectant on it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The next time you use the rub, just remove a small amount (NOT using your finger), or use a clean cloth so that you aren&#8217;t reintroducing new bacteria to the container.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wCAoNAEXrnM?rel=0\" width=\"575\" height=\"323\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=17432#video\">Tips for Using Inka Gold On Polymer Clay<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=16775#video\">Using Gilder&#8217;s Paste on Your Polymer Clay<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=3947\">5 Creative Tips For Using Acrylic Craft Paints<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=13758#video\">Make Your Own Crackle Paint<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Do you have any suggestions for videos on tips, techniques or products you would like to learn more about?
