Given up on clear tubing

Top is clearflex60, writing painstakingly removed, bottom is clearflex 60.
Clouding caused by plasticiser leaching. Off-colour due to the dye in mayhems pastel black. In the system it was producing a greyishblue effect.

My masterkleer is the same but it's external so I've left it.

Replaced all internal tubing with black.

/give up.

Should have used XSPC clear tubing, I've used in 3 different builds so far and never had a problem.

XSPC don't make 10-13 tubing and I'll buy a hat and eat it if their tubing doesn't cloud too lol.

I've had multiple batches of the clear XSPC (7/16 - 5/8 stuff) and non has clouded at all.

I'm on the lookout for some quality clear tubing (8/11mm). I had my eye on the Clearflex60 but after seeing the OP's photo I think I'll give it a miss.

Damn you XSPC for not making the size I need!
