@Georgi haven’t heard about that problem specifically. That said, I know a lot of folks created problems when they soaked the wet sides in vinegar To clean them. Vinegar makes plastic swell. I clean all of my plastic stuff (including my MP40s) using a citric acid solution.

@Georgi не е чувал конкретно за този проблем. Въпреки това знам, че много хора създават проблеми, когато накисват мокрите страни в оцет, за да ги почистят. Оцетът кара пластмасата да набъбва. Почиствам всичките си пластмасови неща (включително моите MP40) с помощта на разтвор на лимонена киселина.
Thank

Yes it still happens. I have another theory besides vinegar. I've always cleaned mine in citric acid and still have it happen.

I think a lot of this is user error. When cleaning these powerful magnets they get slammed down onto a metal surface like a sink and that is just enough force to crack the magnet inside just enough to create a path for water to enter in. After that it's just a matter of time.

As long as you're careful during cleaning, you'll be fine.

Да, все още се случва. Имам и друга теория освен за оцета. Винаги съм почиствал моите с лимонена киселина и все още ми се случва.

Мисля, че голяма част от това е грешка на потребителя. Когато почиствате тези мощни магнити, те се блъскат върху метална повърхност като мивка и това е достатъчно сила, за да спука магнита вътре, достатъчно, за да създаде път за навлизане на вода. След това е само въпрос на време.

Стига да сте внимателни по време на почистването, ще се оправите.
Благодаря ти много
