[QUOTE="kerching, post: 191596, member: 11861"] This was common on cables installed in the 70s. However I have come across this recently on some light fittings installed in the mid 80s...this was slightly 'bluer' than green but I suspect the same stuff. Same cause [ I think ] as when you see plastic Tower clips that seem to have melted onto the cable. Cable is fine underneath but clips have gone really brittle...migration of Plasticiser?? First time I saw it years ago I thought cables were overheating... :coat [/QUOTE]
