Then the wormies were moth larva? I'm not sure I want to know. When I
found what had to be the offending bag, I looked at bottom of it (a
paper bag, not transparent) and threw it away without looking inside.
(Then I threw away anything that I hadn't used in a while.)


I think I'll hold off on the googone gel and bleach until Jim gets back.
He goes a little nuts at the idea that I might not be showing proper
respect for wood.


The most troublesome spot is going to be the space between the shelf and
the board that supports the shelf. If you look at the shelf from the
bottom, it looks solid. If you look at it from the inside, there's a
half inch space that a pencil and several toothpicks had fallen behind.
That's where I'm afraid a great deal of the yuckiness is. I'm not
sure I can tackle that myself.


Thanks to everyone who wrote.
