Not sure why but it hates plastic and finishes.
I have seen guitar finish ruined by it.
I have a 1970 mustang that has wood grain looking plastic on the dash. 30 years ago a friend sprayed “off” while in the car. Everywhere it got on the plastic or plastic wood looked melted and bubbled. I had to replace all the plastic parts of the dash on the osssenger side.
When I’m at an outdoor jam or festival and I even smell bug spray I get freaked out about by guitar.
And as far as finishes on guitars, I do like nitro, it’s what I’m used to, but if something better comes along I will accept it!
Spraying something on your skin that melts plastic...what could go wrong? I wish there was something else that was effective for bugs.
Thermacells work really well as an mosquito-area-denial device. I play most evenings on my Memphis TN porch through the summer and this keeps the bugs off of me.
