Pro tip! Always wear gloves when you use acetone or any solvents. It absorbs into the bloodstream. quickly.

Thanks, I will have show my wife, she was asking the best way to clean sticky rubber things the other day 😂

[andyspoo]

Acetone will melt some plastic so you could remove the rubber coating only to melt the case underneath. Apparently petrol works well.

Why do manufacturers insist on putting this rubber that turns sticky on electronics so often

[oldfartinthenight]

"Hey sweetie, have you seen my nail polish remover?"...erm!

[dn]

Awesome video! I use 3M gum remover, works on many things without damaging the plastic or materials. Thanks for sharing!

[malmal]

use a bottle of remove grease and oven removal, most house has it, just wipe off and good as new, no need rub at all

[cmonkey]

I've used isopropyl alcohol to do this, it also works but maybe takes more time. I'd try that first, then the acetone if things are really sticky.

That stickiness is the elastomer leeching out, the component that makes the plastic soft and supple. Removing it may solve the stickiness problem in the short term, but ultimately the plastic, lacking this elastomer, becomes brittle and cracks.

good Lord, NEVER use Acetone on "unknown" plastic. Worst case is directly dissolves the material, followed by (and as worse, in the end) making it brittle which can even take weeks to happen.

It’s cool to watch hard work and enjoy it because it kept me hooked because it was fast forwarded. And it was clearly hard work

[StudioVN]

Acetone will melt the paint, so be careful with colorful objects

[GuessWho]

Will it work on my sticky dashboard of my old car? And where can I buy the chemical?

[howardevans]

Surely if Acetone works then Eucalyptus oil or simple WD-40 will do the same thing.

[pqsk]

Disinfectant wipes also work. That’s what I used a few months back

[AriRR]

you just need 99% isopropyl alcohol and microfiber cloths and just rub for about 20 minutes

[moussapolytropos]

Damn! I’ve thrown stuff away because I didn’t know I could fix it!

[JotaStroeter]

Instead of solvent try Oxy Clean and warm water (or another product with sodium carbonate - soda crystals)

[MENSA.lady]

Left over COVID 19 hand gel is about 70% Ethanol and works well.

[Nutrafin-D]

Oh so it's not me just having disgusting old electronics. I thought I was spilling grease or something over everything
