Taken me 8 years,but yes,actually looking after my gear now,expensive lesson learned I suppose.Machine gets flushed after use,motors get run with the lid open for a few mins after each job,and all my gear resides inside at the near hint of a cold snap.
Well apart from a few chems the other week,but didn't really lose much,used the fib and fab rinse that froze on a neighbours bedroom carpet today,which was polly prop,so that will be fine
