I have some rubber components that need protection.
Previously these rubber parts deteriorated probably due to crap in the
air (all I can figure since that is all the were exposed to over years
of sitting untouched). These components are used for light blocking
like on a camera lens and have no mechanical interfaces other than
mounting.

So would using pure silicone spray be best or what?
Spray and wipe off excess leaving a very think film or would it soak
in?


There's lots of fans of "303 aerospace protectant" or something like that.
You can get it at boating places, maybe some better auto parts stores.


What's the group's experience with Armor All?
Seems to help non-porous surfaces, but I'd like something
that would help with the foam stuff that lines instrument cases.
