Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hello Rose, How enjoyable would life be if we didn't have a couple of vices... OK, back to the problem. You need a Tupperware container with a lid. You are going to use chlorine dioxide gas to kill off the mold. The spores will still be there, but they will be dead. I don't know if dead spores add anything to the flavor or not, but the best you can do is to kill off the mold. Spread out the tobacco in the container and in a small glass mix 2 ml of 5% sodium chlorite and add 2 ml of 10% citric acid. Swirl to mix, let the activation continue for 10 minutes, then add 125 ml of water. Place the glass, or a bowl if that fits better, into the container with the tobacco, close the lid and set it aside for a day. Now you can remove the lid and remove the chlorine dioxide mixture. The tobacco will need to air out for an hour or so, but the chlorine dioxide gas dissipates rapidly. Now you are ready to go.
