Cleaning Sticky (tacky) rubbers - advice needed

[steve888]

Hi,

I read somewhere that you should only use water in cleaning sticky (tacky)/chinese rubbers. where as with non tacky rubber you can use normal rubber cleaner. Is that correct? What about dignic 09c ? Thanks

i use Revolution No.3 cleaner/rejuvenator on my sticky rubbers and it works great and restores the tackiness a bit. but just water does the trick, if it's clean and not too chalky.

Using protective sheet foil (not adhesive) helps don't attach dust when not playing.

my limited experience with No.3 hasn't been positive so far. i own 2 bottles. nobody knows what's it made off (alcohol? tensides?) but it does cause a chemical reaction (right away) with the rubber sheet .. to the better or the worse.
before i switch out (substitute) freshly bought rubbers, i'll try to use No.3 again (and will apply it on one sheet only, for reference/comparison)
