Reply to Sticky and Gooey Jog Grips?

Does anyone have sticky Jog Grips?

I've recently received them and the sticky side of the Jog Grips are like melted and they are sticky and gooey and messy. When I touch the outer edge or the inner edge, my fingers will just be sticky and it is very hard to wash off. I need to use lighter fluid to clean my fingers each time I touch em.

Any idea why? Or is it meant to be like that.

Cheers,
Case.
