Well, that makes me nervous. after mine was ruined years back I found a nice used one. Its been stored in my basement for over 10 years...... Now I am afraid to go look at it

i have made the decision to sell every pad i have..i will keep my cores for my cars..ive lost 5 or 6 pads in the last year or two...a couple i paid serious money and now..they are cores...

when i need one..ill just send it in..its crushing to see them break from just sitting

So whats the deal? Is it the elements, or something else (other than just age)
I just looked & mine is still uncracked , but its sitting in my dry basement 72 degrees & no sunlight.

dont know...except ive moved across the country 3 times..but they are always in the house...climate controlled..just age..or they are drying out..i cant tell..

but im done...its crushing to see a pad ya paid a grand for be worth nothing with a crack..i guess its my fault..everytime i find a really good one i grab it..but i am done unless im ready for it..
