Firming up rubber? (was: Cleaning rubber goo)

[Curious Marc]

Well I currently have that problem with fancy cars of Italian origins, and knowledgeable people told me the real solution is to take the parts out and send them to:
stickynomore.com (yes, their real name)
Parts get returned in two weeks, look like new and never get sticky again. At least that’s what I am told, and everyone in the business seem to agree. Haven’t tried it yet. Don’t know the cost either, might be way over the top for a joystick! 
Another solution I heard was to wipe with isopropyl alcohol or goo-be-gone, but common sense tells me it’s just going to dissolve the top layer and your problem might reappear. Haven’t tried it either.
Darn rubber parts.

On a similar note, does any have a solution to firm up rubber that is
just starting to gooify?

I have some joystick feet that are just starting to get sticky.
