No need to worry about damaging the rubber, because the only cure is to -remove- it completely. It's a fairly thin coating over a harder plastic beneath. Rubbing alcohol helps a bit in making it softer, but you're basically scraping and rubbing it off. I cleaned up a guitar stand with a similar problem of a disintegrating rubber coating on a few parts. Mostly, it just took a lot of elbow grease. You can scrape it off with a thumbnail or something relatively soft, like wooden sticks, then remove the last bits with a soft cloth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107332 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
