Bug spray and Case yellow handles

[El Jay]

How do yellow handles hold up to bug spray? Thanks all!

Pretty well, judging by my Dad's 1950s era Model U-208 Ulster Fishing Knife. We used a lot of OFF while cleaning many a perch with that knife in clouds of mosquitoes on Wisconsin's peninsula when I was a kid. I'm assuming that the "Moize (Yellow) Plastic" grips were celluloid or something similar.

Stay away from 100% Deet and likely no issues. The strong deet can destroy many things if not wiped off.

Delrin is pretty much chemical resistant, including solvents.
Deet contains toluene, which can damage some plastics.
