Rubber rejuvinent- Fedron

Fedron is just a brand name and there are others as well, all very good. I get mine in small containers through MCM Electronics. Very volatile-yes. Platen cleaner also is, made for typewriter platens but also works on printers, and is essentially methyl ethyl ketone, aka MEK. -----Original Message----- From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Innfogra(a)aol.com Sent: Friday, December 22, 2000 5:25 AM To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Rubber rejuvinent- Fedron Fedron is great. I have been using it for years. You can find it at a copier repair place. It works wonders with feed rollers but will dissolve some plastics so you want to be careful. Copier places buy it by the gallon. I just take a small bottle to them and buy like 1/2 a pint. You want a glass bottle with a good seal, it is highly volatile. A little goes a long way. I use a cotton cloth, dip a corner in the bottle and apply sparingly. Rotate the roller against the cloth. It works on inkjet feed rollers along with laser printer feed rollers. It has been a long time but I think I even used it on typewriter platen rollers, first cleaning them with alcohol to strip the ink. I usually do it outside, I don't like solvents in the house. Fedron works very well. I have no idea who makes it. Paxton Portland, OR
