I have a bottle of PlastX with me, a rag, and a dropper bottle with unscented lamp oil. Usually a tiny bit of oil smeared on the slab takes care...
No issues so far.
I also found this out the hard way when they first released them. I was showing it to someone, put a PCGS slab in the middle to show it fit,...

I arrived Wednesday late afternoon so I could set up my stuff at some fellow VAM collectors' table, say "Hi" to a bunch of the VAM collectors...
