This time a compact 1979 Aiwa L22, as always all the bands are perished,
that contagion again . I decided, this time, to liberally caster talcum
powder around the contaminated parts , my hands and goo pickers. Operating
at that stage , dry and dusty, avoided smearing on other parts, to remove
the bulk of the mess. Then meths on tissue paper and meths for general
smeared areas and some wool dunked in meths to run around the pulley edges
to clean out the gullies.
Anyone ever tried freezer spray?
My own cut silicone rubber bands will go back in there
