	In some cases the plasticizing additive can "sweat" out of surface of the PVC, leaving a sticky or slimy film on it. This occurs with the [[Pretender]] shells for [[Pretender Monster#Generation 1\|Pretender Monster]] and [[Dinoforce#Notes\|Dinoforce]]. While this can be washed off with soap and water, this may cause discoloration as well. For example Dinoforce shells taking on a green patina on the painted gold sections.

	The worst of the two above issues, this cases the plastic to not only take on a slimy or sticky texture, but also causes it to melt other plastic it touches. This seems common with [[Fire Blast effect~~\|Fire Blast effects~~]] introduced in the [[War for Cybertron: Siege]] line, leading to them bonding with either the paint or plastic of they are attached to. This can cause paint to strip off when removed or effectively bonding the blast effect to the plastic.
