Hello everyone,
This may sound a tad ridiculous but I'm in need of a temporary quarantine solution for a moldy retail tape. The mold is not extreme, but I am worried that it will eventually spread to my other VHS tapes on my shelf.

I do plan on attempting to clean out the mold, however until then I'd like to somewhat halt the spread onto other VHS tapes.

Mold spores are everywhere… so you are not addressing the real problem by keeping your tape hundreds of miles away from you or calling the CDC in Atlanta.
Mold needs moisture to grow, plain and simple. So that’s what you should be worry about. A good dehumidifier will help in the short run but you should ideally look at your storage conditions… A well insulated home is key for preventing these issues.
