RE: Best method of cleaning thin layer of degraded plastic?

I've used "CRC Electrical Grade 2-26 Plastic Safe Cleaner / Lubricant" ( see here ). I've also used "Goop" multipurpose cleaner, but I don't really like it as it has lanolin in it ( ie. sheep sebum :| -- disgusting :| ) which tends to leave a residue on the plastic. Does anyone have a recommendation for a better method of cleaning off the top layer of degraded plastic on an enclosure for an electronic device ( especially old vintage and calculator devices )? I've had a number of devices (usually remotes, mini keyboards, mice, etc.) with plastic enclosures with a rubberized coating that has degraded, if that's the same thing. I usually manage to get most of it off with some combination of IPA, WD-40, scotch-brite type scouring pads, and elbow grease, but it doesn't leave them in the best cosmetic condition afterwards! — Ian Abbott |
