Any tips for cleaning off the existing material?
Isopropyl alcohol?
Presumably the roller is secured by a circlip and you can remove it for
cleaning rather than having to do it in place? In which case any
cleaning product will do the job nicely as it's not going to contaminate
anything important...
Any thoughts of using heatshrink tubing and applying
multiple layers
until it has the same thickness as the original roller?
I'm guessing it wouldn't contract evenly and you'd end up with something
that wasn't very round. Some sort of silicone tubing sounds like a
better bet...
