Hi. I have a remote control which has (had) a soft feel back to it.
It's old now and the back is a right state. It's almost tacky in places where the bonding agent is obviously exposed.
Anyone any idea how I might go about renovating it? Doesn't need to be soft feel any more, nice hard plastic would be fine, so long as it's clean.
Might not seem like a big deal, but would be nicer to hold if cleaned.

Try a wipe with methylated spirits.
