 Are you sure it wasn't sap? Sometimes it can flow freely out of fresh wood.

A few weeks ago we were all talking about how great black locust is.

I built a black locust clothes drying rack.  The black locust was a
little dry, but not entirely.  I figured it was safe to use because of
the anti-fungal properties locked into black locust.

I was wrong.

I peeled some clothes off of it today.  Yes:  peeled is the right
word.  They were sticking.  And it looks like some sort of mildew is
acting as a bit of glue.

I'm surprised at the mildew.  i would think that even if it was wet,
mildew would be impossible with black locust.

How can this be?   I could understand mildew on most woods, but I
thought I would never see mildew on black locust.
