Why not just simply use self amalgamating tape this tape welds to its self merges into a rubber sleeve I love this stuff and have used it with great results on weeping Driveshaft gaiters and leaking hose joints and it is good for sealing electrical connectors to prevent dirt and water spoiling them especially good on satellite F connectors Pl259 aerial connectors and so on the beauty of this stuff it will never come undone to apply peel off the backing and you must stretch it about a third or so and wind it around the job you are doing but if it is outdoors in strong sunlight you must wrap over the top with u.v. stable insulation tape as it will breakdown otherwise but apart from that its amazing stuff best wishes Andrew ----- Original Message ----- From: William Stephan To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 1:24 AM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Sticky rubber coverage
Sounds like a good time for... Duct Tape!! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keith Patterson Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 18:37 To: Blind HandyMan Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Sticky rubber coverage So pulled a pair of binoculars out of the closet, that hadn't seen the light of day in 7 or 8 years. The rubber coated hand grips have broken down and are extremely sticky and leave a black residue all over your hands. Our first thought was to contact the manufacturer and have them take care of it. They are not to be found and googling the brand name and so on, nothing to be found. So stuck with a pair of sticky binoculars and looking for thoughts on some kind of coverage for the hand grips. We have brain stormed the basic's, starting with Duck tape and cellophane and so on. Would think there would be something to paint over to seal it, any ideas?
