Hello!
Bangor Student Caving Club are having a problem where the compasses we have in our emergency kit (occasionally helpful when a little lost) keep getting this weird white mold or fungus type thing growing inside the fluid in them. This in turn eventually creates the world's largest compass air bubble and this makes it unusable and the liquid a cloudy white.
Does anyone know what this is and why it's happening? They are mostly stored dry and rarely see the light of day so I am baffled. They also don't have any signs of damage.
Cheers for any help,
Aidan
