When I restored my grinder I replaced the hydraulic return lines and feed line to the table ways with Tygon hose. Translucent yellow stuff. Used a couple different sizes.
The stuff on the grinder thats been in use for probably 20 plus years is fine. The left over hose has been stored in one of my cabinets. Last year I had to move it to dig for something and noticed that it had a sticky oily / greasy feel to it. I thought, is it breaking down due to age or something. I wiped it all off with a solvent. So I happened to check it this morning and it has the same oily feel to it again.
Wonder if I should toss it? This stuff is supposed to be impervious to just about everything. Anyone know what's going on with it??
