read properly
i did mention using a toothpick for it

yea... hopefully the hippos play their part in sucking vapors only... thanks for the advice... im juz only confused despite theres no light in the cabinet, the tyres will still liquidize... i think it juz started today, or even perhaps yesterday which i didnt notice carefully...

anyway, i juz suffer this problem lor... so guys, gotta take more awareness on ur diecast models, not only to prevent bubbles on the metal body, but to avoid the tyres from liquidizing...

maybe that 350z batch use diff material then
anyway, i worry bout the heat my room is hot most of the time........

Jasonist, i felt ur pain too. will do safety check to my every model. i hope Hyppo doesnt cause this coz i have put 2 of them in my cabinet.

do u guys have ur collection in air-cond room? mine does not and my F40 suffer from serious paint blistering untill i have to put it to ICU case
- my F50 tyres get mould and rim's paint peel off
- 575 GTC in ICU case to prevent bubbles with desiccant silica inside

guys, i don't know why what happen to your collections till can have lots of problems?

mine is perfectly OK after putting hippo, FYI, the room is 100% non ventilated and 90% of the time, the lights are off...............

last time no hippo, got bubble

i've been searching for answers too now i'm afraid to get more diecast in future or just keep it inside the box.

well, another possibility that i can think of is that QC problem

wow... looks like everyone has different problems now... well myke, mind to tell me how do u control/maintain ur room/cabinet temperature? one forumer told me my tyre liquidize due to hot temperature, since our weather here is hot and humid during daytime... so hows the cars after putting them in the ICU case? this means tat the air cant get inside eh?

yea i oso heard tat keeping the cars inside the box for long term may screw up the body paint too... but how bout those diecast shops they oso keep the cars inside the box for years if no customers buy it, the cars oso don seem to have any problems...

the "no ventilated" u mean is tat the room got no window? how do u maintain the temperature inside the room? i never had this problem before until i find this happen to the 350z... so far other models tyres are still ok... but im doubtful with the 350z produced by aa after the spoiler has broken off...

there ain't any perfect models. that's why i am kind of piss off with some people that autoart are kings. sorry to say this but you know who i am refering to. anyway, what i mean is my models are at another house which is meant for storing things. most of the time the windows and doors are shut that's why it's non ventilated. till now i have lots of cars in box that are still perfect in their paintjob. i never bother about the temperature in the room as i spend most of my time at uni....

actually shop have better "weather" temperature (more aircond too).........since their shop is in inner building so their tempt is not as hot as in our house.........so their stock is safe

anyway, currently the tyres of the 350z is still liquidizing, juz like bleeding like tat... damn! i wonder when will this "bleeding" stop...

is your tyre still sticky?????

its not sticky, but more to oily...

hmm i think AA got oily problem.........
i bought my beetle AA, RX8 from HK ...the paint is oily too......so i wipe them off with tissue....

Jasonist....you may use a clean cloth (less dust one) try wipe small part and see is the inner part still oily?

you perasan lah.. i didn't say you also
but honestly i am not refering to you lah

err i think keeping the cars in ori box should ok?? since the box is not fully sealed........i only display beetle and RX8.......other still in box ....juz now heard u guys said keep in box got problem.......... now i start worry pula..... ........the only toy i know cant keep in box too long is figure...will become sticky one day......

in fact the oily i face this time is different from the oily from the paint/small part... its the oil/chemical stuff coming from the tyres... now the tyres are hardened due to this phenomenon... so i assume the tyres are now spoiled, i juz dono wat makes this situation to happen yet... the tyres now are not rubber tyres anymore, its like more to hard plastic tyres that u can find from the mini hotwheels cars...
