Clean Sticky Rubber Grip

Rub the paste over the surface with a cloth then rinse clean.

Clean sticky rubber grip.

Dampen a wash cloth with hot water and wring out excess water dampen wash cloth with oil soap full strength and clean remote or sticky plastic. If the sticky damaged surface remains mix some baking soda with water to create a thick paste that is about the consistency of toothpaste. Tried dish detergent but that just pushed the sticky around. The grips on the camera had become sticky.

This is why they were sticky. Murphy s oil soap and done. More rigid high vulcaising rubber will powderise back to dust. Upon some research i found the rubber coating on the grips deteriorate over time.

Rinse wash cloth then wipe remote repeat should be free of any sticky. I pulled out the camera several times over the last year and every time my hand stuck to the grips. The top surface is effected 1st which then deepens and deepens until you could wipe the entire rubber off with cloth after 25 years. I put it back in the case and stuck it back in the closet.

Again use fresh clean rags for each application allowing to dry rinsing with water between each application. Like 50 year old tyres using alchohol will merely disolve and strip the top liquid rubber layer off back to the still rigid rubber underlayer. Fill the sink or a cleaning bucket with about 1 gallon of water and 1 tbsp. Keep re applying on the rubber and rubbing with a cloth.

Swish the water with your hands to thoroughly mix the soap. Rubbing alcohol can be used as well but should be used with caution as it can cause damage to some rubber surfaces. After the final step gbg application you should wrap in damp towels leave overnight and make sure the gbg is completely removed. Step 2 dip a cleaning rag or mop into the soapy water.
