[GreenKeys] Teletype wiring vinyl tubing

[Roy Morgan]

Nick,

I have never used the Caig product intended to revitalize rubber, but it is reported to work well.  The vinyl you tell about is not rubber, but if someone can try it, we all would appreciate it.

The stuff is called CaiKleen RBR

A link on that page gets you to the Essentials Guide which tells more than that page does.
See page 11.

Unfortunately I see that about 10 ounces of the stuff is $54.00.  Ugh.  I had planned to order some of this stuff, but not that quantity.  It does seem to be available in a 25 ml dispenser at $12.95.

I have heard that Armor-All is silicone based, and getting it OFF of where you don’t want it is very difficult.  The solvents that really work are either not available, or very expensive.
