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.

Wondering about petrol but not the nicest stuff to work with...


I've removed this vile stuff from a few cameras and binoculars as well
as plastic (computer mice) using White Spirit. Doesn't harm plastic
and a microfibre cloth with copious amounts of white spirit and
patience works well.


We have 5 to do. Acetone does work but its very labour intensive. Hoping
to find a better/quicker solvent.
