So what’s that white shit on AI butt pads? And how do I remove it?

[Islas82]

Am sure you everyone with AI rifles or chassis know what am taking about. How do you get rid of that crap? And what is it?

Um, wipe it off with some water or alcohol probably.

It's probably just an anti degradation agent for the rubber when it is in storage.

That makes sense, I tried water and it doesn’t quite work. Will try alcohol next.

If neither work, try some silicon spray lubricant and then wipe it off. That will help the rubber too. If that too doesn't work then use a true penertating oil, such as PB blaster.

I used my finger and rubbed it off some, had an impulse to remove it, kind of like glue on your skin. Realized half way through that I didn't actually care and stopped doing it. Forgot it was there

Exactly what I heard yelled at me when I made my last wrong turn in the ghetto

White bat guano!

Probably a release agent from molding. Doesn't bother me....

Alcohol can degrade some rubbers

 

[Darryle]

Try a paste wax

According to our AI overlords (excuse the pun)...

AI Overview
Black rubber can turn white due to a process called "rubber bloom", which occurs when sulfur or peroxide used to cure the rubber aren't fully used up. These chemicals can migrate to the surface of the rubber and appear as a white or gray powder. Rubber bloom is normal and doesn't affect the quality of the rubber

Wipe with WD40

Yeah...they may say that....but I've run Kick-eez pads for decades and they never turned white. Just saying

What you're seeing in that residue is pure English pride and tradition. After molding but before shipping, every AI buttpad is lovingly rubbed in white chalk sourced from the cliffs of Dover by a craftsman with 30+ years of experience while "God Saves the Queen" is played by a live marching band.

I'm not 100% certain about that, but it's certainly a plausible explanation why you often have to wait 10+ months for AI parts.

Thats racist.

Well can they stop doing that and maybe pass the saving to the consumer
