Howdy,
Sounds like the set-up is not new. Thus, the original first-time harmless "slime" cover is out. Are you sure the driftwood is suitable for aquatic use? Almost sounds like it is rotting. I am not sure if I would put it back into the tank. You can sterilize it as much as you want, but if it is rotting, the rot will come back.
A pic would help.

i would post a picture of it but you cant see it unless it is in the water and i am not putting it back in that is for sure . and yes when it is out of the water it is very very slimy. the tank set up is only about a month old . and i did buy the wood from an aquatic store .
