Silly Putty and Remotes Don't go Together

Don't try this at home... I made the mistake of showing my kids how to copy the funny pages with the silly putty so now my 4 year old is trying to copy everything. He decided to "mold" the buttons on the remote and the stuff would just not come off. Yeah I even used the big wad of silly putty that was left to try to "lift" it off of there and that didn't even work.

Oh FYI its hard to get out of hair too!
