SOURCE: Rubber coating breaking down

Try it with rubbing alcohol first - just keep it away from the optics, and you may get lucky. The only thing that ever seems to work with these is an abrasive cream cleaner (jif/cif or similar) - you just have to use lots of cream and be careful not to polish the optics - unfortunately the stickiness will come back quicker than before though. I haven't tried myself, but i have heard that once you have carried out the cream cleaner routine, you can paint the unit - ask your hardware shop what sort of rubbery paints they have - ideally oil based and not acrylic. It wont last as long as the original finish or like quite as good, but it should stop the stickiness for a while at least. Try and keep your binoculars out of the sun - most of the stickiness is either caused by that, or contact with a damaging chemical such as most insect repellents, or petroleum products. Hope this helps :)

SOURCE: Nikon N70 back covered

Find some methanol. The local hardware store should have some in the paint section. Use paper towels and wipe, wipe, wipe....

Soak and lightly rub an area for 10 seconds or so, then use a dry section of towel to wipe and mop up any goo that has been solved. You may not see much improvement at first, keep at it. It took me nearly an hour to get mine completely clean of all goo and residue.

Take care not to splash the meth/goo mix onto the optics, shutter, etc. Once the solvent alcohol evaporates, any dissolved glop will precipitate out and muck things up.

I've got NOCX3M Night Vision, It has developed a

Jinko! Now is this NV monocular yellow in color? What type of chemical did you clean with? Any thing that petroleum in it, or corrsive chemical will desolve the PVC plastic cover. Probably what happen there was harah chemical used to clean the monocular, it weaken the top cover of the PVC frame and made it a gooy surfaces. The material in the frame is not water soluable. Try to dry it out, then scrap it off then sand it to a smooth surface. stewbison
