No offence but it seems like a lot of work when the stub of a rubber tipped pencil would do.

This should prove very useful until somebody invents the disposable glove.

No offence taken ???? true, just easier to carry and don’t need to use alcohol and tissue to clean after use.

 Easier to find disposable lighters than disposable gloves at the moment.

OP you're the handyman neighbor that I wished I had. I hope you can give me some advice regarding my "stay at home" project. I have this old brass clock that I want to replace its ancient movement to a quartz one. Everything comes out easily, however I'm stuck at the crucial stage, when I need to separate the back of the clock, which contains the movement, the clock face with hands and everything else; from the front of the clock which contains just the front glass and its frame. 

 

My question is how and with what tool I can pry the back part from the front part? (In the pics you can see the outer band of the clock has two half-bands, the front and the back.) Whatever tool I can think of - a flat head screwdriver for example - in my hands will eventually damage the metal . There are no screws that I can see that keep the two parts together: The two bottom screws that you can see in the pics affix the back of the clock to its stand, I don't see the front of the clock  attached to these screws. Curiously, there is a hole on each side of the clock near these screws that seem to serve no purpose...or do they?

 

Thankyou  in advance for any suggestions.

Could just use the eraser on a bit of paper to remove the layer of impregnated rubber. Or if using the other end, a quick turn with the pencil sharpener.

Or maybe just wash your hands after using an ATM?

I gave you some advice.  A nob would have said your invention would benefit the planet, ergo I am not a nob.

To be really safe, just ask the helpful motocy somchai hanging around to put in your PIN code for you. You can even leave your card to him for safekeeping, Thais are so honest, jingjing.

There are plastic tools for prying stuff without leaving marks: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/changda-3pcs-auto-car-radio-door-clip-audio-removal-installer-pry-plastic-hand-tool-set-i568630306-s1043242584.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.2.1a754bf85DLsYC&search=1

He is burning the tip afterwards. 

[CharlieH]

Just hold a tissue or wet-wipe in your hand, use it under your finger,as you use the ATM or Lift or whatever and when done bin the tissue.????

Well, in that case just adjust the lighter to max then do a flame job on the keys you intend to press.

You can see the movement in the first pic, it's a pre-quartz (or maybe quartz already without mentioning it) movement. It was running when I first got it, and then by mishandling or installing the battery (C size battery) the movement went dead. Or it just didn't like tropical climate:-(

Fairly, straight forward operation to remove.
