Now you have several experienced members telling you its not, but thats not enough to change your mind.

I have seen plume before, though not to this extent. The box is pretty old so I was assuming that it was (knowing that the owner takes meticulous care of his stock and uses distilled water).

Not trying to argue here...

Sounds like you are actually.

No! Sorry- the give away is, as was mentioned, the bands. They won't have plume on them! It does actually look more like dust or water impurities. It would be interesting to take a magnifying glass to that ceegar to see the white stuff up close. But, I'm afraid I'd hafta agree with those that say it isn't plume. Also don't know if five years is long enough for plume to develop. It's a veeeeery sloooow process.

And just when I thought I knew the difference between mold and plume.....


Now I clearly have no clue.

Oh btw, NO I'm not being a wise A$$.......
