Stormy,

Any reason why you can't coat the thing with something non-sticky?
Since yellow is ugly anyway, I'd coat it with black paint. Get a can of
spray paint. Be sure you clean all the talcum powder off before you paint.

I was also thinking spray paint. In this case,
the walkie is about three by four inches. I'm
not sure if the plastic comes off. To just spray
it over would take a Japanese Rice Writer to do
the masking. There is a window for the channel and
codes, a couple buttons, and little holes for the
mic and speaker. I don't have that level of skill.

It would be nice if the soft sticky plastic came
off, but I doubt it.

The day after, it's less sticky after application
of a bit of Armor All (not masked, just sprayed and
later wiped off).

Throw the cheap piece of crap in the garbage and buy one that isn't
soft-touch and won't turn into gum
