... Is 'band rot' contagious to other rubber bands?
I have an old rabitech 16mm rubber that I've cut up and started using as spear tip protectors.
The old band is sort of sticky and gummy to the touch, band rot maybe?
I was wondering whether this 'rot' could get transmitted somehow to the newer rubber in the muzzle if the old rubber piece touches the fresh rubbers somehow. I know it's a very silly question, but I was curious whether it happens.
