This is going to sound silly, but do you have one of

on the skid. A piee of cardboard cured that :-)
That's not silly at all. That has happened to multiple people. It
was a "well known" thing when RD53s were in use all over the world.
There's even a special DEC-made purpose-cut mylar insulator sheet,
IIRC, but cardboard works fine.
