It should be loosened up by the heat. Once you&#8217;ve removed it you can just wipe off the black from the metal.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>New blog posts every Monday and Thursday, plus pictures throughout the week on <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/mechanicalmalarkey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/mech_malarkey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/mechanicalmalarkey\">Instagram<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCasCW0ImD3UuLeMu5RAZCXg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch Mechanical Malarkey on YouTube!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mechanical Malarkey <a href=\"https:\/\/mechanicalmalarkey.com\/merchandise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">T-shirts, hats, and stickers<\/a> are available to order!<\/p>\n<p>-Dan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The batteries in key remotes go dead after a few years, and they&#8217;re usually pretty easy to replace.
