Cleaning a tacky/sticky rubber

Equipment

Nilabhra Paul Asked 8 years ago

Hey coach, we know that a rubber can be cleaned simply with a damp cloth (damped with plain water).

Can the same be done for a tacky rubber like DHS G888?

Hi Nilabhra,

Yes the same can be done. You may need a little more water on it than for a non sticky rubber.

Thanks Coach! :)

Hi Coach, Do you think that by cleaning the rubber with water, some of the stickiness would be, well, "washed away"?

Not more than it would with normal wear and tear.
