Chalking bumper rubbers


m240

Recommended Posts

Well GOOD news, I sprayed on that Formula 2 a few times and let it soak in and then dry and I now have to rub hard to get even a tiny bit of black on me wheras before all I had to do was just barely touch it and it was on me all day! Get it if you can.

Never tried it before because I didn't have bumpers until a couple months ago and I won't put them on till I get my paint touched up.

Another option:

If you have rubber pieces that have mild surface dry rotting, you can actually use sandpaper to "restore" them. The sandpaper removes the "dead" rubber. I'd recommend starting with 240 grit, and then go to finer grades until you have the texture you want. I usually finish by rubbing with a rag soaked in acetone or lacquer thinner-- then 303 or other protectorant. Can be a lot of work, so keep that in mind vs. the option of new ones.

Also, I don't know if these are the ones you need, but I just put a pair on eBay.

Of course, any rubber part you need is not available any longer, this may be a good option.

I work at a graphics shop and found that Varn super rubber rejuvenator works very well. Its an oily solvent we use to remove crap from press blankets. Its oaks in,.leave it a while and when ya wipe ot off the rot and glaze come off as well.

Should be able to get it at any print supply house
