Sorry, but this is simply not true. It is and always has been the fact that as the softening agent ages, it puts off gasses which then condense on...
Regarding the OP's question - since long before the TPGs ever existed, before they had even been thought of, there has been a list of several...
There was at one time. You see that huge spike, quickly followed by that huge drop in this chart ? [IMG] Well, that was caused by the same...
