What happened to the finish - Slingy red sparkle Last viewed: 6 hours ago

Check this out on ebay. What is going on with the wrap? What would cause that? Almost looks like someone tried to clean it with something and hosed it up.

That is the rare "Bert Cambel" finish. With just a snap of ur fingers...it just disappears in thin air.

Stay Wiggly,

Must be a Ebay listing.

I hate when my set becomes invisible. I always hit my toes really bad on the stands and FT legs.

That freckling looks like moisture got under the top layer of plastic to, either corrode the sparkly pieces, or cause mildew to form on the backing ply. That is irreversible.

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.
