[Woodcarver] mildew

[maricha]

hi folks, have started sculpting a large tree , Pittosporum , (Pittosporum undulatum Vent. Small hardwood common in wetter areas of coastal new south wales and queensland australia. it is wonderful to carve and am hoping to have a life size sculpture about .  we had to cut the tree down as it was interferring with the pipes of the bathroom and to my great joy it is a joy to carve.  After cutting the wastage with the chain saw to get to the design, all ends were sealed with PVA, and to my horror, mildew is appearing wherever i used the blessed PVA.  at this stage it appears to be on the surface of the PVA coating, as we have had real inclement weather of lots of rain, then extreme heat.  any suggestions would be much appreciated so that this beautiful tree can be saved from mildew.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
