I ran out of my Rubber Renew rubber softening
chemical and started using brake fluid as suggested
by some posters here. It seems like it works at
least temporarily. Any comments are welcome.

If it works then great, but for anybody reading this one word of caution - it
probably damages plastic immediately and severely. Can you cofirm that Ken?
Certainly rubber rejuvenator detstroys plastic.

Perhaps what happens is, it does eat away the surface then becommin
'grippable' for a short limited time and the whole thing repeat
until there is nothing left..

Remember well, one collegue using CarbonTetrachloride on a switch uni
in a small pocket radio - the plastic just disappeared, it was quit
comical watching his face watching it

I haven't tried it on plastic. I know the fluid gets
on the drum but doesn't seem to do any harm
I'm just concerned that the fix may only
be temporary.

Ken I am sure it is temporary, but temporary is a relative term.
I have seen pick up rollers rejeuvenated several times in a heavily used
printers life with great success but at some stage replacement may be necessary
as after a while some of them become spongy.
So long as it works keep doing it I guess.

Yes, I have seen a plastic switch that melted when a colleague used a mix of
cleaning solvents. There are many types of plastic. The plastic parts that
hold
the rollers in place don't seem to be affected.
