Went to have a look at my collection of softies before a fish yesterday and I noticed that they had all - to varying degrees - turned cloudy!

The pumpkinshrimp slider and muscadine were the worst effected...

They are stored in a waterproof clear plano container - but it may have got a spray of rain water in it from Wapole (not much). I'm pretty careful not to get salt water in it! Anybody had a similar experience...any suggestions?

hey herds,
iv had that problem before, it takes ages to get them back to normal, it also happens when you leave different coulored softies in the same box, the light coulors are the first to lose colours, but hey cant be bad though, you can make new colours. and i think that if just use them in salt i think they go back to unfoggyness because they went cloudy when i let them sit in hose water in a little pool.
hope i helped a bit

G'day Herds.
I have had it happen many times, leave the cloudy plastics in a warm dry place and they should come good. You could try a little gentle heat on them, that might quicken the process. I usually find that plastics stored with jig heads in them after use suffer the most.
