that comes from moisture. same as polycarbonate needs to be carefully dried
before softening! very hard to do in a DIY home environment.
polyethylene and polypropylene don't have this problem, but these are not
gluable, they must be soldered. neither are these paintable.
the ideal stuff is ABS (also needs drying in extreme cases). PVC is also a good
candidate, and antiflame too.
