I'm probably asking a stupid question here but can carbon booms get stuck together with salt crystals when not used over winter like aluminium booms? I've kept mine separated over winter but do I need to?

I've never taken my RSX boom apart and it hasnt had a problem.. RSX may be different, it is carbon though.

No! and No! Its the oxidation on the scratched aluminium that causes it to jam after sitting for long periods. Carbon/Epoxy wont do this.

Cool I thought so, now I won't have to keep undoing the adjustable outhaul to get the boom apart.
