Hello folks,
I have a question about painting (preferably spray) backboards of one of our Ikea drawer chest.
We have this drawer chest from Ikea. The backboard of this one seems to be made of cardboard type material. This doesn't look like classic cardboard, but plywood like feel. Our apt gets moldy pretty fast when humidity rises and now the mold has started growing on this backboard. I usually wipe with disinfectant wipes once a week but it is getting too labor intensive and thought may be painting will block the surface to the mold.
We have been trying to reduce humidity for years without any success. Being in a rental, we can't modify anything and we do not have an active exhaust system to keep humidity low. Running AC all the time is cost prohibitive (to us).
Does anyone have any advice on how I can paint this backboard, and what kind of spray primer/paint I can use?
Thanks in advance.
