Canon 10 X 30 IS Binoculars - sticky Rubber Coating

[ahofmann531]

I have a 10 X 30 IS binocular [serial number deleted for privacy].  The rubberized coating is disintegrating and has become very sticky.  I see others have had this problem with other high end models.  How do I improve the condition or get them repaired?  They work perfectly but are very uncomfortable to use.

I bought a 60w UV light on Amazon for less than 20 minutes and am now starting the 24 hour process with alum foil reflector.  I’ll reply with results within 7 days.  Wish me luck 🙂

I hope it works for you!  Share the model number and wattage of the lamp if available.
