Default Cleaning Pinch Rollers

Hi Guys, I read up on a few different methods of cleaning pinch rollers and one said don’t use IPA as it can dry the rubber out, mine were hard with a glaze, I decided to see what happened if I used a blade and just rotated the roller by hand, the glaze came off and they seem to be ok again, the blade rests nice and square on the roller supports

Default Re: Cleaning Pinch Rollers

Believe it or not but I use saliva, applied to a cloth or cotton buds. Especially good for removing tape deposits.
