Does anyone know if Molasses immersion eats die cast parts. I have had some items (like tail light surrounds, Fe bonnet emblem surrounds) come out looking a bit moth eaten? Can’t recall them being chewed-up prior to dipping.

Is it due to the molasses being or becoming a bit acidic? If so it will explain the eating away of the die cast.

It will also eat concrete if left under anything for a while.
