[TenTec] Sticky, goopy stick-on feet

[Ken Brown]

Yuck! My Omni VI had some extra stick-on feet. Looks like a previous 
owner may have used a narrow shelf, and had the back of the rig hanging 
over, necessitating the extra feet a few inches forward of the regular 
feet. One of these feet was sticky liquid and made a big mess on my desk 
top and the bottom of the rig. The other was also gummy, but not liquid.

I have never had this problem before, except in the past couple of 
years. Only two things I can think of  have changed in the last couple 
of years. One is that I am using Ten-Tec gear, and the other is that I 
live in Hawaii. I wonder if there is some kind of chemical reaction that 
occurs with the paint Ten-Tec uses and these stick-on feet? Or is the 
climate here is the cause? Is this problem common to all brands of stick 
on rubber feet? Or are there good brands that don't do this?
