Did I ruin grips

Apparently the grip (not grips) is staying milky white. Lesson learned, do not submerge in boiling hot water to clean.
And thx to Phil, sending me a replacement g-r-i-p. Singular.
If i think of it i will post a picture later when home.

There's a big milky white spot on my dining room table from setting something wet and hot there. It never goes away either.

A Table cloth should hide it just fine but I'm afraid that won't do in the other situation.
You are also in the long term warp and twist area, that kind of saturation is not good for wood (yea I am a poet)
Just an aside, true story, I was there. Doing a roof for a Picnic Shelter, 35 feet long, 20 across. Broke the first band for tongue and grove (3/4 or 1 inch). Spwang. I have never seen the like since, that stuff exploded in all 3 dimensions, it warped up or down, bent along the edge and twisted. I have seen any single one of those on the usual poor wood we get now but not all three, occasionally two, never 3.
It had been kept dry under a shelter roof, but it was the last on the shelf and they restocked each year and it got put to the back. No one could say how long it had been there. My job was to see what the longest length I could get that was reasonably st right. 12- 16 feet long. 4 ft was common and I had sections of 2 ft (beams were 2 feet apart).
For sure you never ever want wood to get wet, it does bad things to it as well as changes ability to get a finish on it.

Yes! There is no good reason to submerge these guns in any liquid, hot or cold… let alone with the stocks in place.

If you want to try something for the heck of it, paint some hellmans mayonnaise on the wood and let it sit for a while. It’s a trick used to get water rings from glasses out of table tops. Maybe you can salvage them grips or that grip

Well I'll be, they finally found a use for mayonnaise.
There used to be a product, think it was called "Barkeeps Friend" that was used to remove water rings from flat, finished surfaces. Rub it in good, circles disappear. I always thought it must be very fine valve grinding compound.
Actually "pants" does make sense as originally there were two, one for each leg and some kind of who knows what for the middle. But who says "grip panel"?
Breech cloth. And your right on the separate leggings .
Yep thats the stuff. Works.
You dont eat BLTs? The mayo needs to be dripping out the sides.

I find it humorous that putting a pistol in hot water leads to crouch less chaps!
