Default Re: Grey mould on wooden radio cabinets

In times-past the insides of military radios were "tropicalised" against mould etc, by spraying with a translucent varnish - which had a distinctive smell.

Does anyone know what the anti-fungal agent in this was? It certainly seemed to work - which probably means that it's long since been banned on 'environmental protection' grounds.
