[QUOTE="BadThad, post: 1215868, member: 17261"]Exactly! As Jim said, the leaking occurs on a molecular level. All plastic is porous to some extent, the plastic molecules can only pack so tightly together. Oddities in the polymerization and minor impurities in the plastic can produce bigger "holes". The best thing to do is to store your slabs properly. I simply put mine into heavy ziplock bags with a desiccant pack and sacrificial, red cent to absorb any gases that make it into the bag.
