Gunk in solenoid
today we were practicing and then all of a sudden our pneumatic cylinder got stuck goin out and would not go back in

we were really confused and after test many possiblities found out that there was somethin wrong with the solenoid

We then took the solenoid completely apart and found that the rod inside the solenoid was covered in gunk

after we cleaned it off and put everything back together it all worked perfectly just as it was before

is that gunk a normal thing?
is there a way to make sure it doesnt happen again?
