I know certain rubber and plastic combinations do not mix well. Some rubber fishing lures in plastic tackle boxes melt the two together. I have seen the problem on some cords of my machines too. I don't know what the lethal combination is but is is a gooey mess. I had one machine where it had set for some time and there were puddles of that goop in the case and it was still pliable. ~G~
