I've heard that,  that this is the case with whatever the goop is that 
Japanese mfrs. use for stuff like holding down large capacitors,  etc.  And 
that it starts out as a light brown in color,  turning very dark as it ages.

The stuff I was referring to is off-white (milky-looking) and quite hard when 
it's set,  which makes it interesting to remove components.
