- JL - Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hey guys. Have you guys had any problems where the tubes (Mahri tubes, the thing Stormer 2.0 has, and stuff) get really sticky/oily/wet? Because, for some reason, my current ones seem a bit sticky, and whenever I touch them there's a very weird feeling. So, do you guys have this problem, and is there any "Cure"?Also, I've washed the tubes once AFTER I found them sticky and icky. They got slightly better, but their still icky.

Aedai Rivin Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Not in the way you'd think... :biggrin:In actuality though, I've never had this problem. Mind telling us which ones got sticky? Stormer's, WDs, or some silver ones you can't date?Rivin Quote Signature Guidelines: Avatar and signature total file size may not exceed 100 KB!

Toa of Dancing Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I'd suggest using rather warm/hot water and soap, then leave them in it for a while. That'll probably get the oiliness off of the tubes.Also, where do you store them? Anywhere they could get the oiliness? Furthermore, have you ever set them where they could get that on them?

- JL - Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hmmm. Its a 2007 Mahri silver tube, although I bought it from the shop around 2009. I guess I'll try the hot water and soap technique. Quote GT: Jl1223 X <----add me :3 (╯◕_◕)╯ BZPRPG Profiles 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiki Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I have not had this issue with LEGO parts, but (especially older) plastic I've seen can melt slightly under the right circumstances. This creates an oily, sticky ... mess.I've never had the pleasure task of cleaning something like that up, so I really have no idea.

FlutterTree Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) My Hahli Mahri tubes cannot bed properly, I even had to sit on it for it to fit. But nah, no adhesiveness.

GeluNumber1 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Haven't had such a problem. Wash it, it'll probably go away. Quote Why are orange and black such a good color Combination ? Purple is pretty, and so is blue. Pink hurts your eyes, green is quite mellowing, black is very threatning, red is cool, orange is SO awesome, yellow's hard to read... But you can't see white at all! Oh, wait. I forgot brown. Here's my thoughts: If a person tells the truth and says, " I always lie," Is he lying? Or is he telling the truth? And what has a mouth, but no head, and a body, but no torso? Do caterpillars like to tend to supporting colum of stone's every need? Or is that name misleading by nature? Speaking of nature, why are the children of animals called offspring? don't many young beasts come alive in spring, and thus, should be called onspring? Heeeeeeyy..... I got the first post on a page for the first time. Who knows; it may happen again. What the... It did happen again... and again... YEAH! I'M ENCOUNTERING PROTODERMIS!

Taipu1 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Never had any problems with the mahri tubes before. I had one of the type you get on Brutaka split before, but nothing like what you've described. Quote - Taipu1.HighFly MatoranShowdownBZPRPG ProfilesHave you seen my Blog?

Overlord Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Hmm... I think I've seen some slight oily residue on the tubes before. However, the tubes in question didn't belong to me, nor can I assume that it was exactly the same problem you're having.~~ Quote "YOU'D THINK, FOR BEING A DEAD MAN, I'D BE MORE TRIUMPHANT THAN I AM."

Kopekemaster Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 No, I haven't had that problem, but the old tubes on my original Makuta Teridaxs' have gotten inflexible.

Peach 00 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I've never had any problem with the Mahri tubes getting 'sticky', honestly. Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Waffles Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I would suggest warm water and soap, and let them dry in a hot place especially if it´s easy for water to get stuck.As for yellowing, retr0bright can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
