Hard to say, but unless you're trying to grow a new antibiotic, is there a reason you haven't replaced the corn cob in that length of time? Bacteria need moisture and heat to thrive. A tumbler barrel is ideal for this, but having said that, if you don't leave your capes in it for two days before you work on them, that's a doubtful cause.
I watch this happen last year a few times the guy had his tumbler full of cob grit. I ask are you going to tumble a cape in that? Yes and on he went. Over the period of several months he slipped a bunch of capes.
The cob grits pick up protiens and heat cuasing huge bacteris growth. The guy was also using Spray tan.
LOL Couldn't help myself.
