  Hi Mark

  Like many consumer electronics companies, we have moved away from that rubberized silicone casing material on our newer products.

  Please purchase with confidence.

  Have you tried cleaning it with alcohol?

  I got that on some old lenses, the rubber parts got sticky, I cleaned them with pure alcohol and that got rid of most of it.

  Denatured alcohol worked for me. My Powernode 2 was nearly as tacky as selotape but I used half of a 50ml Cussons Carex bottle of hand gel. It did leave a very tiny amount of smearing due to the other ingredients but it also left the front Blusound logo intact. I now have a nice smooth and clean Powernode 2.

  I hope that helps somebody.

  I had the same problem - a sticky surface on my Node. As other people suggested, I used Isopropanol, or isopropyl, alcohol 99.9% and a cloth (actually an old T-shirt) and rubbed the surface to remove the sticky rubber coating. This worked well; it only took 20 minutes; it didn't take much effort. The Bluesound logo remains on the front panel. I was quoted £90 for a new casing plus shipping costs. The £9 Isopropyl bottle from Hexeal via Amazon was therefore a bargain!
