For that reason they should not be stored in dry rooms or near warm heating units. A lack of water contents can be compensated either by putting the propeller in boiling water for a short while or by submerging it in water at ambient temperature for a couple of days.</span>

Back in the day (50's and 60's), every nylon prop came with a warning to boil the prop before use. To not do so invited disaster.
