: Maybe some of the others using this method can comment on this
: possibility.

I went through two pair, got them at Walgreens on the rack for infant care. I used them a lot, including exposed surfaces, and never saw any problem. When they are just stuck in the bottles as stoppers, I keep the plunger pulled part way back. The catalyst has a tendency to make the rubber stick just a little bit. If I store them mid-stroke, it makes it easier.
