Well what was left of hurricane Ida dumped lots of water before she left. Luckily, I caught the water in the basement at about 2 inches and I got the pump to throw it out the basement window. I scrambled to get the guitar cases that were leaning upright with their bottoms on the floor out and upstairs. The rest were high enough on the shelving so they all stayed dry. The neighbors weren't so lucky and they got 2 feet of water and lost everything down there.
I pulled out the guitars and they were ok, opened the cases and that bottom corner that was on the floor got wet. I left the cases open for five days and they all dried out except that the Gibson cases with the pink lining in that area at the bottom are dry, but the pink fur feels sticky/oily. The case is dry but I don't want to put the guitars back in there. All my other cases are fine and are now dry.
Does anyone have any experience with these pink fuzzy case linings feeling oily/sticky after being wet?
What is the best thing to do? Is it the glue they used on this particular style of case that reacted with water? The pink fuzz? Should I just pull out that part and re-do it? or just can them and get new cases? Where do I get replacement case liner? I have no idea. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thx!
