So while you may be able to scrape, peel, or coat to a solution, it
will
be temporary.

I had an X terminal where 2 of the 4 feet turned to ooze. Never
understood why just 2 because all 4 were subject to the same light.
temperature, and humidity swings. Best guess is that only those feet
were making contact with the wire shelf it was sitting on.

Might be nothing I can do about it, at least
nothing that will last very long? I wonder if
I can get the yellow plastic off some how, and
spray it with clear spray paint?


Acetone would probably take it off but I suspect it would continue to
deteriorate.
