ArmorAll applied occasionally to rubber belts will extend their life!

Do Not use Armor All, it has silicone and will cause slippage. Remove the belt, use an alcohol wipe and gently clean it. After it dries put a small amount of talcum powder in a baggie with the belt. Toss it gently to coat the belt, remove and shake off excess. Clean the outside edge of the platter where the belt rides with an appropriate cleaner and dry. Install the belt. If the belt is stretched, drop it in boiling water for a couple seconds before the talcum treatment. |
anyone ever tried "rubber renue?" https://www.mgchemicals.com/products/cleaning-products-for-electronics/cleaners/specialty-cleaners/r... (please note it has enough warnings on it to seemingly be saying: "danger, do not open, do not use". Nasty stuff.) Bigger electronics parts supply shops, will have it on the shelf. It really is for pro use and it really does require good ventilation...and the smell of it is so strong that the lid being on it tightly will still not prevent it from having a bit of a smell. Once it’s seal is pierced..well.. Poke a tiny hole in that seal, and gently squeeze out what you need, q-tips and what not. Do not completely remove the seal and do not make a big hole in the seal. Seriously. It has the kind of chemicals in it that revitalize rubbers, and make them soft again, so think about it. As volatile as it gets. You’ll be putting the used q-tips and any small soaked bits of cloth or paper towel, outside. As a matter of fact, do the whole operation outside. Do not get any on your hands. |
