Not sure of chemistry, but I know that ?fake? leather c64 dust cover which was often sold with the c64 will if packed on the c64 when c64 is shipped in its original box, NOT react to the styrofoam box, but WILL soften/eat the ?ABS? plastic of the c64 slightly/surface damage. I didn't buy this c64 for its looks (I just love messing with it) tho, so its a non-issue for me, but something to be aware of. On 2/18/2017 6:11 PM, Jeffrey Jonas via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
I just had to clean plastic printer covers with GooGone because the bubble wrapped slimed it.
I've had wires melt into the plastic storage box (polystyrene?).
Programming templates crumbled to dust due to the outgassing of other plastic drafting templates.
Is anyone aware of the chemistry involved?
