Re: [AV Media Matters] Decaying rubber parts
When films arrive here with horrid decaying elastic bands (or inelastic if
you are a physics purist) wrapped around them then we use perchloroethylene
to remove the goop (with a bit of care). This is OK for film but perc
might be a bit viscious on some other materials. Test first.
