Re: Cable that 'melts' paint in storage
The plasticisers in PVC can 'migrate' over time and cause unforseen issues: I remember having to do some significant ceiling-level rewiring in a previous house where the PVC-covered cable to the light in the kitchen had developed a deep and meaningful slimy association with some polystyrene ceiling-tiles.
This effect has also been noted with PVC-sheathed cables and some versions of loft-insulating 'wool' spun from recycled plastic drinks-bottles.
