[TowerTalk] Storing Big Grips Outside - What Happens?

[AD7L@aol.com]

Preformed Line Products indicates that Big Grips should be stored in cartons, 
under cover - preferably shelf storage - until used.  

I'm curious, what happens if they are stored outdoors?  (Not that I'm doing 
that....)

Our local power company, Portland General Electric, has these little open 
trailers just full of hardware which they pull behind their trucks.  They 
have all sorts of guy grips hanging on horizontal bars, obviously not indoors.

The only thing I can think of is that the weather can somehow degrade that 
salt looking stuff that is on the inside of the grips.  It is interesting to 
note, however, that the grips can be removed and reapplied twice in the first 
three months after the initial application.  Obviously they've been outside 
for three months.....
