Probably disintegrating, I don’t know. But now I’ll finally have to buy new ones. Currently there’s 6 oozing points in total. 3 are minor, one is now inactive (the 2024 pimple), one I taped over, but it’s starting to overflow, and one near the jack is major.
I now cannot plug them in without getting sticky residue everywhere. Also the rubber on the outside is starting to crumble a bit.
I am a cheapskate, but this may be their end.
Try isopropyl alcohol 70%. The stuff you use for disinfectant in the first aid aisle. Soft rubbery plastics do this over time. The alcohol will strip the soft material that is disintegrating and leave the smooth plastic behind.
At this point I don’t think he’s trying to fix the problem.
Problem is, it leaks from the inside.
