Rubber conditioner

#1 Post by Sláinte! » Wed Oct 23, 2013 9:58 pm

The kegs I own were well-used (loved?) when I bought them, so every time I wash or handle them the rubber tends to blacken...everything. Can someone recommend a good product for conditioning the rubber?

Armor All® Gel

Gobb it on and wrap it in a trash bag to keep it from drying out. Leave it for a few days. Works great!
I've used it to transform old rock-hard windshield gaskets for re-use.
