Just that if that is mold(which is what it looks like to me), the mold can then eventrually turn into spores, which eventually turn into dangerous stuff :d I would just replace that part of the box, with new stuff then fibreglass the crap outta it :d

Line-X spray-on truck bed liner. My buddy runs Line-X Calgary South, and has sprayed a couple boxes for me now.

This new box is great, I had them spray the inside smooth instead of bumpy like the last one.

Total waterproofness. And it's really tough, I use it as a workbench/cutting board often. Looks slick too. A full rainbow of colours available too.
