Some formulations of Tenite degrade when exposed to elevated temperatures, discoloring, shrinking, warping and in extreme cases cracking and aging. Tenite can also give off an extremely unpleasant smell, even without shrinking or warping axiomatic. In their 1940 model twelvemonth, Nash used large, clear Tenite moldings on the dash and smaller pieces for other interior components. When kept at lower temperatures and out of direct sunlight, the plastic volition still turn a 'light harbinger' colour and requite off a bad odor. If it heats to where it warps, the odor is much worse. Some have described information technology as vomit in a cat's litterbox or that it could be formed into pellets to be scattered as an area deprival weapon. For 1941, Nash changed to a transparent red dyed Tenite for well-nigh of the interior plastics. That change seems to have made it more than stable, though the much reduced production of automobiles during 1941 has left far fewer examples to note the degree of degradation of the Tenite used that year. I could get a couple of pictures of a expert condition and a bad condition 1940 Nash Tenite part. Too bad there however isn't an odor function for the web.

Tenite was used past Savage Arms Company equally a stock textile for commercial firearms in the Earth War Two era when walnut forest was reserved for armed services arms production. The 15,000 Brutal Model 24 .22/.410 combo rifle/shotguns issued for the Eastward serial of aviator survival kits 1942-1945 had Tenite stocks. Guns produced by Savage for the commercial market with Tenite stocks included the Model 24 combo gun, the Model 94 shotgun and the Model 1244 shotgun during WWII and a few years after. J.B. Woods "Troubleshooting Your Rifle and Shotgun" (DBI Books, 1978) notes Tenite is hard to repair in one case cleaved: "no glue known to man will stick to Tenite plastic." Tenite is very lightweight compared to wood. Family unit members own Savage guns with Tenite stock and the fabric seems much more than stable than the Tenite car parts mentioned above. -- Naaman Brown (talk) nineteen:twoscore, 12 December 2022 (UTC) [reply]
