I have a hammer that was in a plastic container for several years. In that time the handle is really sticky almost gummy. How can I remove this?

    hi, if you are asking about the handle of the hammer (usually rubber or plastic) i would use eucalyptus oil, see how this goes then perhaps some corn starch or then maybe a coat of clear nail polish. if you don't have eucalyptus oil, you could even try the nail polish remover. good luck.

    it would be interesting to hear how you managed the problem

    stay safe, Luci Qld Aust
