I recently purchased some Aeroquip hose (Startlite hose), and found what appear to be waxy yellow colored droplets into the hose. Some are deep inside the hose. I discovered this after assembling hose ends on it unfortunately. Almost looks like some liquid was inadvertently dropped in the hose and then hardened. The droplets I can reach do seem to peel off the rubber hose.
Before I disassemble and return the hose, I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before and if so how to remove.
