Just picked up my battery charger and found that it's rubber coating has started to 'decay' leaving a horrible sticky mess. It's only a £30 jobby so not overly annoyed but it's brought memories back of my B&W speakers that went the same way ![Frown :( :(](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/frown.gif)
Other than to generate another sale after X number of years, why do manufacturers use the stuff still! It feels great until it makes something unusable.
I've heard various fixes for it over the years, IPA brush, bicarb paste etc. but I'm forever amazed at how often the stuff still gets used.
