My favourite two solvents for this sort of repair are petrol (US: gasoline) and isopropanol. Important, try the solvent first on a small hard to see area. If that works and does not denature the underlying plastic, then&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dismantle the equipment as far as necessary and remove the works from the shell.<\/li>\n<li>Clean the sticky gunge off the shell using small amounts of isopropanol or petrol on clean pieces of white kitchen towel, or similar. A small plastic scraper can be useful in this context too.<\/li>\n<li>If you used petrol, then clean off any petroleum residue with isopropanol.<\/li>\n<li>Allow to dry, reassemble and test.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Mobile phone that turned into a sticky mess<\/h2>\n<p>As it happens, I had occasion to raid my box of old mobile phones this afternoon, looking for a working &#8216;BL5C&#8217; battery. As I withdrew my hand, one of the old phones was literally stuck to my fingers. Its rubberised coating had completely broken-down, forming a nasty, sticky, treacle-like mess. So I took a few snaps of the recovery process&#8230;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garfnet.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/gallery\/20241018-remove-sticky-rubber-coating\/20241018-p2530208-phone-before-removal.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/garfnet.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/gallery\/20241018-remove-sticky-rubber-coating\/20241018-p2530208-phone-before-removal.jpg\" alt=\"The horrible sticky mess that was glued to my fingers\" width=\"900\" height=\"1152\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The horrible sticky mess that was glued to my fingers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I don&#8217;t actually have any petrol &#8211; well only in the car.

I also used a standard mobile phone screen removal tool as a gentle scraper to remove the clumps of rubberised gunge.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garfnet.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/gallery\/20241018-remove-sticky-rubber-coating\/20241018-p2530211-phone-during-removal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/garfnet.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/gallery\/20241018-remove-sticky-rubber-coating\/20241018-p2530211-phone-during-removal.jpg\" alt=\"Half way through the cleaning process\" width=\"900\" height=\"1365\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Half way through the cleaning process<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It took 5 sheets of Tesco kitchen paper, 30 millilitres of 99.9% isopropanol and around 20 minutes of &#8216;elbow-grease&#8217;, but eventually I removed it all.
