Title: Is it safe to store keycaps in baggies?
Post by: nc0de on Thu, 12 March 2020, 10:04:05

Hey GH,

Is that safe? I heard that plastisizer from cables can melt ABS. I guess this applies to baggies too...
The caps in the picture are PBT... are they also affected by the plastisizer?

Best regards

I keep mine in thick ziplock bags, nothing has happened to them.
