it is the combination of high temperatures and high humidity that damages composite materials and their bonding agents. The comment about hot and wet is valid.
I don't have any problem at all agreeing with that, as far as bonding agents go:

But, you tell me how the "wet" is supposed to get into where the "bonding agents" live short of faulty workmanship and I will then start agreeing with the wheelbarrow technician that Robinson blades aren't fit for the tropics.

I did have an idea that they are certified for all over the world operations.

ding ding, ding ding.
