There are no heat sources behind that wall besides a toaster oven that
sits
on the counter top and is seldom used. I would think any heat source from
inside would have caused some damage to the cabinet directly above. This
is
new housing so the walls are insulated.


Solvent out-gassing from the recently-applied coat of stain visible in the
photo.

I haven't used any chemicals on the deck since the spring of '06.


Sure doesn't look like it. Did you mean '07 ?


I think we have a winner here- that looks chemical, not heat-related. My
first thought was that whoever did the last stain job on rail got a glob on
wall, and wiped it down with the wrong solvent to clean it off. Even if the
solvent didn't cause immediate visible damage, it could have made the
plastic more sun-sensitive.

Acetone!!??
