thats not a lot of help any one else

Sorry tongue.gif

 

Honestly, if you look (or feel) carefully, you will find the storm lure and the worm type (I guess it's the worm or eel type lures) are made from different plastics. These 2 will react and melts together. Keep them seperate. cool.gif

Tony,

First experienced the problem when I brought back a couple of packets of plastic worms from the States.

Every thing was fine whilst they were kept in their packets but once used I put them into drawers in my fishing box.

Next time I went fishing I found that the used ones had melted into the plastic of the drawer .

 

I always keep them in their original packaging now it also keeps the smell in one place.

I don't know if the reaction is between plastics or between the chemical attractant additives that they seem drenched with.

WARNING

 

WHEN PURCHASING SOFT PLASTIC LURES PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOU MUST KEEP THEM AWAY FROM ALL PLASTIC CONTAINERS AND OTHER ARTIFICIALS. THEY WILL MELT ANY PLASTIC THEY COME INTO CONTACT WITH - INCLUDING TACKLE BOXES AND LURES OF A DIFFERENT TYPE. THEY CAN BE STORED SAFELY IN THIER ORIGINAL PACKING OR FOOD STORAGE BAGS

I suppose we're saying the bags the lures come in are the same grade of plastic as food bags (food grade). So original packaginf bags and food bags are OK.

Other bags such as the coin ones from banks aren't made from the same grade of plastic and are therefore likely to melt due to the chemical reaction.

In a word YES

 

Polymers, Co-Polymers, Plastics, DNA, makes me shudder, I love Science but can't keep up.

 

I've Googled plastics inside out but can't find answers.

 

A whole new meaning to Jelly Babies !!

I have posed the question on Yahoo Answers :-

 

So far have this one -

 

For the same reason you don't put on your parking brake when you put your car in long-term storage.

 

Molecules are in constant random motion. When two substances are in contact, then molecules from one substance can migrate into the other, and vice versa, creating a blend of the two substances at the interface.

 

With rubber, we take it a step further. Rubber is just barely a solid. You might say it is a very, very viscous liquid. As a quasi-liquid, it will "flow" right into the rubber in contact with it. All this "flowing" results in a big "solution" of rubber.

 

It's not so much a chemical reaction, as it is physical process
