Also, what are the potential risks if I just skip that step and clean with only Isopropyl?
Hi Bolderdashed,
Don't know if you have managed to find anything to clean the rubber pinch-roller, but wanted to try to answer your question.
The Rubber Renue product that I mentioned in my message above, is still sold in some places, I think, and lists the following as 'ingredients':
"CONTAINS: Dimethylbenzene CAS# 1330-20-7. Methylsalicylate CAS# 119-36-8".
I have no idea what any of that means, so please don't ask me
Another suggestion that I have is to contact a company here in Toronto that sells analogue tape machine cleaning products, and ask them your question. (Miraculously, I took delivery of my order a couple of hours after placing the order - that's service for you!).
The company is called Teletech, and the cleaning products are made by Wilcan (here is the link, and you can find the contact information on other parts of the website
http://www.teletech.ca/Accessories.html).
The Wilcan rubber cleaning solution tins/cans don't list the ingredients, but I would guess that they are similar to the Rubber Renue contents.
I have used the Wilcan products a couple of times since I received them a few days ago, and everything is going fine.
Another suggestion would be to contact Wilcan - from what I can see, this is their website
Computer sales BRAMPTON, but I could be wrong (the people at Teletech would probably be able to tell you more about that).
I hope that this helpful.
All the best, and please let us know what solutions you come up with (please excuse the pun!),
All the best,
GVDV.
