Whoa,

 

I just found one of my Kalins grubs melting the paint off of a Daredevle spoon.

 

 

Not happy about this.

 

Well honestly, I don't really know whats happening to it.  What found was the grub and the spoon were stuck together.  The paint came off onto the grub, and the paint in the area of contact is still wet.   Hmmm

Tough to predict what soft plastics are going to do.   40+ years of tackle box chemistry labs have taught me nothing except to not trust any plastics with anything else until I've verified it myself.  Especially if you allow any heat into the equation. 

 

Just last week, I pulled two melted masses of practice plugs, skirts, plier handles and some lure that I don't recall what it looked like before.

Regarding the heat.....The temp is about 15 deg cooler today than yesterday.

LOL....yep, it happens.  I've donated my share to chemistry in the past too!
