   @thomasfuchs iFixIt has a page where they walk through some options. I often up using isopropyl alcohol in the end... https://www.ifixit.com/News/93833/ask-ifixit-how-do-i-fix-sticky-plastics

     @thomasfuchs I've had success using washi tape to remove the stickiness, at least temporarily.

     I've done this mostly with Nikon film cameras: I cover the sticky regions with black washi tape (3M makes good black ones that match the tone almost exactly) and keep using the device with it on. After a few weeks to a few months, I'll take the tape off and the stickiness will be completely gone, without changing the appearance of the plastic at all.

     @thomasfuchs I think they've rebranded it slightly, but it should be this one. You can tell it's the right kind of tape because the adhesive is weak, similar to regular scotch tape: https://www.scotchbrand.com/3M/en_CA/p/d/v000192455/
