What I do is just pick out the mold spots and food boluses on a daily basis. Also, every week or so, I stir up the moist sub to aerate it, then retamp it. (Remove the sling first!<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />) Or if it's been awhile, I'll just scrape off the very top layer of sub to expose the fresh sub underneath. Every once in awhile replacing it completely might not be a bad idea. The nice thing is that once slings hit about 2 inches, they generally don't need wet sub anymore.</p></blockquote><p></p>
