Ok Brian thanks, I have the parts soaking in a weak vinegar
solution at
the moment, that should kill the stickiness if it is silicone
based.
Youtube items suggest acetone, but that is too harsh and could
dissolve
the item. Isopropyl alcohol might be a good choice.
Rub with washing soda paste and elbow grease.
Well I tried brake fluid (DOT4 Universal) on one half of the trimmer
casing. It shifted the sticky cack with a bit of persistance. Used
meths on the other half, quicker and lesss effort.
I wonder if modern brake fluid is as good for this kind of stuff as the old
variety that would strip paint?
