[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 160701, member: 29302"] Extremely doubtful it has been harmed by the mould. Most likely dehydration and poor ventilation in the ICU put it out of shape, coupled with the stress of the rehousings. Drying substrate in the oven (unless extremely low heat) could actually lead to more mould later down the line, as the heat can kill off beneficial bacteria that keep mould in check. If you have your central heating on, you could try putting the substrate in containers and placing on top of your radiators to dry it out overnight. Besides, a little moisture in the substrate may help your sling recover if dehydrated. [/QUOTE]
