I can definitely see how that could happen and im sure the length of time it takes depends on the quality of the caps. The sets Ive stored in my garage have mostly been chromacolor 2 and xl100 types. I still have 2 chromacolor 2 sets out there that have been there for years. Ill have to try them this weekend.
