The English instructions mention:
Processing instructions:
First simply remove the old button. Then remove as much dirt as possible
with packet adhesive.
See picture 4. With Tesa it is also very easy to see where dust or dirt is
still sitting.
If everything is clean, start with the big sticker.
there is still this option (it is not my ad) if it violates local rules,
please delete it.

I removed them, as well as the six numbered preset buttons, then I
masked the top section. In fact thats probably not necessary, because
overspray can be peeled or rolled off.
For the rubber buttons I separated the rubber membrane from the PCB and
gave them a scrub in soapy water.

No it's transparent rubber lacquer. If I'd been too vigorous with the
cleaning, and the original finish had been removed, I understand that

I had a go at painting the sticky faceplate. I forgot to take a photo
of the 'before', but it was really sticky, and very difficult to get a
clean, blemish-free surface prior to painting. But the paint goes on
quite 'wet', and is quite good at covering imperfections. Here's a

I bought a used Boom this weekend, and as expected, the front panel is
very sticky. I can clean it by wiping over with a cloth dipped in
meths, but it stays sticky and quickly collects dust again. I'm just
wondering whether anyone has tried coating it with, say, a clear matt

A different approach
I have two booms, one sticky and one not. For the sticky one, I took the
approach to stop reminding myself that it's sticky, and thereby letting
it bother me. I don't touch it. I have quite a few controllers and I set
one next to the sticky boom, and use either that or
Please report back on the talc! I have 4 booms still in play and some
are definitely quite stickyisopropyl definitely didn't help. Got it
cleaner, sure, but definitely not less sticky...
I'd love to find a reliable solution!

Hello
About this stickiness, here are my findings so far

- with alcohol, you can remove the stickyness but it's very
Hi all,
My Boom has served me well for many years. I decided to give it a good
cleaning the other day, and the solution I used had a small amount of
bleach. Well, it was just enough to interact with the button panel/knob
on the front, and turn it permanently sticky!
