Its for the other situation when rubber gets hard and too slick. I've also used the TechSpray rejuvinator. I've used it on plattens where the paper would slip. The rubber didn't really feel softer but the paper stopped slipping. I also need to use it on my TU10 capstan. The rubber I could get it redone in was a harder black than the original tan so the tape sometimes slips. Putting the rejuvinator on gets it to be happy for a while.

I have some rubber handles and feet that get gummy, is this what you all are talking about? I assume that once rubber becomes gummy it's a lost cause. Bill

Various automotive vinyl cleaners have some "plastic restorers". Classic is NuVinyl brand in the original white container; there's new mixes now. Some of these auto products also add a shiny coat, that can be scuffed off. All these contain "plastisizers" to replace those dissipated by age. The chemistry of rubber products can be interesting. - regards, Herb -- Herbert R.
