I posted in another thread which was closed. I have a Canon 300D where the rubber parts (grip and viewfinder area) sort of ... melted or something ( i kept the camera in a dry area with those moisture absorbing stuff). Can it be repaired? My hands turn black after touching those parts, since viewfinder also have same problem, i had a square black mark on my eye without realising it. How much would it cost to change all the rubberized areas?

hey, this is a rather old post but I too had the same problem with my 300D, the grip melted and became sticky, and when I touched it my hand turned black.. but I read online on people fixing these problems by putting whiskey or any alcoholic thingy on a piece of cloth and rub over the melted part.

so I put red wine on a piece of cloth and rubbed over the melted part, and somehow it helped remove the melted rubber part, and now it looks like brand new... surprising that it worked shocking.gif
