If you use too strong of rubbing alcohol, like the 80-90% strong kind, it can do the same. Not always, but it can happen. When repairing and replacing those seals, you tend to use 99% or straight up acetone to remove them. I used to go home from work with those adhesive boogers all over my sleeves, it's a nightmare.
