Recoil pad melt down
 

Has anyone had this happen? I was looking for some wood the other day and when I opened the drawer of this cabinet I noticed this puddle below a Krieghoff stock. When I picked the stock up and looked at it I thought it melted as a result of heat, but this has never been anywhere near heat. This is a HiViz X Coil. :shock:

I had a Limbsaver pad that did this exact thing.

I have seen similar happen to a gooey pad.

Any solvent near it??

I was thinking maybe solvent too. Even solvent fumes can soften rubber or other plastics like that.

There is a reaction that takes place between 2 types of plastic. I have seen it in a tackle box containing different plastic lures and the plastic boxes wire leader crimps came in the boxes liquified and other fishermen told of similar experiences.

Recently discovered the grip cap on my Ithaca SKB, vintage 78, curled up like a pig snout! No heat anywhere near it. Of coarse it is plastic.

same thing with me, limb saver just turned to mush , sitting in rack.

Solvent
 

No Ed, no solvents anywhere near it. The company didn't provide any explanation except to offer another one for free.

Solvents still degassing from the cabinet finish??
