Default Re: Rubber Paint!

I've recently been experimenting with this stuff, and think I have discovered another use for it.
The rubber handgrip of my camera had degraded to the extent that it left he fingers black after use, and small chunks could easily be gouged from it with a fingernail - the sort of age-related deterioration we're all familiar with.
Just to see what would happen, I gave it three or four light coats of rubber paint. Not only has this stopped the black gunge from coming off on my skin, but it appears to have stabilised the rubber altogether. It's still fine three weeks later, but time will tell if this is a long-term solution. Certainly worth trying if you've nothing to lose, anyway.
I wonder if it would work on hardened turntable mats?
