Cheers mate really appreciate the advise. Would love to live out there especially this time of year bet it’s amazing. I will order that stuff online.
I bought myself a Russian MIG-21 Flight Jacket that arrived on Christmas Eve, however the seller largely failed to mention the overall Stench of mould and oxide that has rotted away most of the metallic hardware!!! (AUGH!!!) The pictures really didn't show the smell, you know? anyway it's up to me now I suppose to decide to just take it as-is and not file a complaint...infact I didn't check but I'll bet there's no returns on this ebay item, no problem...Let's see how this Jacket will like the napalm, flame throwers. I can Try Ethanol, or Hydrogen peroxide in this case, I'm not worried about the vintage collectors value at this point, the mould has to die. I will report back with a few photos and let you know how I proceed on this latest project. The Jacket had been stored somewhere WET and nasty for at least 20 years..hopefully not next to a stockpile of Radioactive waste or Sarin gas knowing my luck. Ugh!!! Sneaky Ebay Seller!
File a buyer protection case for an item that is significantly not as described, get your money back, and then burn it.I bought myself a Russian MIG-21 Flight Jacket that arrived on Christmas Eve, however the seller largely failed to mention the overall Stench of mould and oxide that has rotted away most of the metallic hardware!!!

Peracetic acid is produced when Acetic acid and Hydrogen peroxide are combined. It’s toxic and can irritate skin eyes and the respiratory tract. Vinegar and bleach are both good mould killers when used singly. (I knew some of this already but checked with Google anyway). Ive just discovered this bloke on a leather site I subscribe to. He comes with good reviews ref mould removal and leather repair. I’ve never used him though but he could be worth checking out. https://www.facebook.com/Claydon-Leather-Repairs-905590716122972/I'm wondering if mixing the two is ok?
Liquid bleach should never be mixed with Vinegar, Is Hydrogen peroxide ok to mix with vinegar?
I read the web, it should be applied from two separate spray bottles one after another
but peroxide is a kind of bleach, won't that fade the color of the liner or leather you spray it on?
