My boss is a BAR and we discuss rocketry from time to time. I sort of got him back into it when he started working at this company a few years back and today he told me that a few months ago he'd gotten himself a range box. It's similar to mine, a tool box with two levels, and he's stuffed it full of lots of motors. He's got Estes, CTI, reloadables, etc. He also dropped in a bag of desiccant pouches because he stores the box in his basement and was worried moisture might harm the motors.
He had a friend to his house last week and they went to his basement so he could show his friend his motors. He said the bottom of the range box had a liquid in the bottom that looked like water but felt oily and has no idea what it was. He said the desiccant looked like it had broken down and he's wondering if the liquid was created when the desiccant failed, or if it failed because of the liquid coming from somewhere else.
Anyone else seen something like this, or has any clues as to where the liquid came from? Is it oil?
