EOS-1V Sticky Body Residue; plastics breakdown.

[darrellwong]

Does Canon publish an official article regarding the breakdown of plastics used on their older camera bodies that produce a sticky residue? I Googled the subject and found several suggestions and home remedies using denatured alcohol, hand sanitizer, etc. Is there a Canon technician that can officially help with this subject? Thank you... dw

I used isopropyl alcohol on door on the right side of my EOS 1V where the custom function and two others are located. I put the alcohol on the corner of an old towel and rubbed it. The towel turned black where I rubbed the door and the edges. I rubbed the door with the alcohol until it stopped turning the towel black. 

The sticky/tacky surface has completely been removed.
