Do I or don't I...........?  Group: Members Posts: 5,899 Joined: 24-March 06 From: SE PA, near Philly Member No.: 5,765 Region Association: North East States  |
So...winter is settling in on the east coast & midwest. It's snowing & 26 degrees here, but I planned for that & have taken lots o parts off the 914 to rejuvinate over the winter. Mostly rubber & FI parts.
Right now, I'd like to hear about members's witches brews for preserving rubber parts. I've had several rubber parts go south on me this year (read disintegrate in my hands!). Have replacements, but curious about what every one uses to protect these things. I have something completely wierd that I've started using, but want to hear what others use first. Sources for OTC Glycerine seem to be drying up (no pun), since the drugstores don't want to reserve shelf space for something that doesn't sell. So....what do you use? I promise I won't denegrate anyone for not using what I do. Want to hear alternatives - good or bad. No, licking a Hershey bar & then licking the rubber is not a good thing - or is it? Pat |

(shifts his eyes in a nervous fashion.) Well, I knew this was coming! Don't know about the rest of the world, but purified glycerine is rare in my neck of the woods. Yeah, it was a little embarrassing to pay a 16 year old pierced punk for it, but we do what we have to for our 914's. Could have made the purchase more interesting by buying a pack of Maxxum's at the same time, but the kid may have hit on me. Regardless, it works! Pat |

Pat, I'm sure you know that there are reputable internet drug stores that sell items which would otherwise overexcite the 16 year old punk at the brick and mortar-store, and they pack them using unmarked discreet boxes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
