Just a heads up. Rubbing alcohol will also take off that rubberized coating.

Yes. I just used some alcohol on a pair of binoculars. Also I rubbed some WD40 on them too.

This was a particularly good one Gareth! I heard that a past of baking soda and water also works to remove the stickiness, and have tried it in a limited way and it did a decent job. Also Grady Hillhouse has an amazing book called Engineering in Plain Sight that I highly recommend.
