A recent thread on an exploded casein pen prompted me to look more closely at my materials stock . The casein was okay , but some of the Bakelite wasn`t , as shown in the attached photos . Has anyone else had this happen , particularly in the drier parts of the continent ? Or does anyone have a better explanation ?
They were stored in an old blanket box along with all my other plastic blanks , which appear to be okay . They were certainly not cracked when purchased 2 -4 years ago . The warped one is a 90 degree rotation of the cracked one . It is the end cut off a sheet , and has warped towards the
new edge . It was straight or very nearly so when I purchased it .
