We have some Kef speakers (cast alloy construction) that had that silky
rubber coating. Needless to say this coating is a ghastly sticky mess.

We?re using acetone at present but wondering if there?s a better solvent to
remove this horrid stuff. Not too worried if it removes the underlying
paint as some has come off already.


Try brake fluid. It is a surprisingly good solvent for degraded tacky
rubbery plastics. Wear suitably thick impervious gloves.


Sounds interesting. I?ll have a rummage in my garage...

For a respirator?
