I want to paint the back of billy bookcases with anti-mould paint, do I need to sand the frame and backing?

given that he spelled it mould, it's likely he lives in the permawet country of great shitain.
that said youre still retarded for being unable to conceive of a place where mold exists.

if there's already mold on it, don't try to sand the mold off, use mold killer to get rid of it
you should be ok to paint it without sanding as long as there's a smooth surface to apply the paint to

[Anonymous No.21599780]

>him again
you don't need any special paint, just use a gloss paint, prime first and do a few coats to seal it up well. Oil base is a bit better but not a huge deal here. You can also just use poly. Anything gloss, the goal is to make sure you have a surface which stuff which mold can grow can not stick too and if it does you can just wipe it off along with the mold.

A light sanding never hurts and is the safest path when unsure, just make sure to remove ALL sanding dust before painting.

Anti-mold paints are largely a gimmick, does not prevent something sticking to it which mold can grow on, it will kill any mold on the surface before painting and the paint itself will not mold but any oil base paint will probably do just as well if not better because of the solvents and creating a better seal.

I sorta fuckedup with my prior bookcases and had some against an exterior wall and some against a window that gets condensation
so I am putting these in a different place obviously, but also I am just wanting to take extra precautions

the backing is MDF does that need sanding it is already quite smooth and shiny

Sand it.

That is pretty much just a extra thin primer so it soaks in deeper. Use it if you want.

What in the absolute fuck am I reading? Why would you do that just to paint the bookshelf, instead of just putting the books in the corner somewhere while you do it? I think you might have to check yourself into a mental hospital for a bit instead of worrying about that mould growing there, you seem to have bigger issues.

Even still, I'd rather build a wall across the middle of my room with those books and crawl over it for a day or two than make 10 trips to a storage place just to bring them back right away. Some worrying behaviour there honestly, I think OP might just snap and kill a bunch of people any second.

No need to sand it. No real need to paint it tbph, if you're putting them in places with good ventilation (not putting them directly against walls will help too). You're better off getting the mould spores lower in your house by removing or cleaning the origin of the mould.

how do you not put a bookcase against a wall?
having done some reading on this exterior walls can be an issue due to temperature variations
(not to mention being up against a window)
I suppose you could bolt them together and put them in the middle of a room, bit too arty for me
