[Elecraft] Problem with a K3 screw

[Vic K2VCO]

This is soooo off topic, but I once worked in a carpentry shop where acetone was used to 
clean contact cement from veneer. On my first day at work, I sat down to eat lunch with my 
co-workers. After a few seconds, I suddenly felt like my butt was on fire! I jumped up to 
roars of laughter to find that one of the guys had put a rag that had traces of acetone on 
it on my chair.
I wonder if there are "latent defects" after all these years?
