How should you clean the rubber rollers on a planer. I was using kerosene

a rag because I found it dissolved the pitch and cleaned them very well

I know petroleum ruins rubber so what else should I use.


However,
my first choice is the recommendation of the manufacturer.

As it should be. Don't rub them with Sterno. Alcohol is a poor solvent for
pitch and oils, and there are a lot of oil-resistant "rubber" formulations
out there. Alcohol also contains water which can promote corrosion in
hidden places.
