Is it possible to overuse this substance, and make no difference to how a rubber part functions, or make it worse?

Consider this product as a last resort to make an obsolete rubber part serviceable. It may be that the rubber you want to renew is too far gone, as were the small hold-down rollers on an old typewriter I was restoring. I made the mistake of letting them soak overnight, and they became rock hard and oddly swollen. But the platen (the large roller) turned out usable after brushing it on and letting it soak in. I did this several times over three days, and was pleased with the results. Bottom line is: It works, but don't expect miracles. Rubber Renue won't close splits or cracks, by the way.

No harm will come of it, but it's not the intended use so you won't get the best results. Lexol actually sells Vinylx for that.

I suppose it's possible, but I just tried really smashing it down & had no issue. I do have a protector over my screen. I have 2 in front of me & looking at them, the rubber piece is covered all the way to the end & sheath starts a bit back, so pressing hard will still get you rubber, although I would check them often. If they are pushing that hard, it wont take long for it to wear thru. Hope that makes sense!

I don't see why not. It's just rubber. I can't say that it helps with strength or anything for that matter. I wouldn't waste your money.

I never used it near rubber, plastic, or anything other than steel. I wouldn't trust it near any myself without trying it on some scrape piece first.

To be honest, I am not sure. What I would investigate is the type of rubber (there are a bunch of types of pliable plastics and rubbers that are used), and see if that rubber reacts chemically with the solvents. Generally, if you contact the company, they will tell you what type of rubber and you can look up the reactivity with different chemicals after you have the info. Sorry I could not help more.

Similar to tires, this type of rubber won't melt. I've used this product on two separate occasions and there is no visible damage to the rubber. With proper use, the rubber should last a long time.

No, it is a lubricant, there are no harsh chemicals that should be affected by plastic.

I am careful when using something like this. I only use it on occasion. Yes, my hands feel the impact, if I exceed an occasional use. I think this is a product that is best avoided for those of us that have hand issues--or possibly if we are collecting social security because we qualify with our age. :O)

Yes, sometimes. Clean any buildup and replace rubber bands...should be good to go.

I wouldn't. You're apt to make a hole in it, trip on it, and get hurt. I'd sure recommend only using it UNDER something.

sorry but I don't know the answer to that question.I myself do not use it on plastic or rubber.

If you are asking about the protective rubber on the metal tip, yes you should remove for use and replace after use and cleaning.

The middle area is flexible, so I feel that is possible, but take note that continued usage in this manner may affect the longevity of this product and could result in damage to that area.

No one can probably say for sure and I've not tried this, but I'm thinking that it's probably not a big deal. May reduce the life of the hose in the long term.

I' am probably not qualified to answer that question but if it was me I would probably give it a try. the great thing about this product is that it is not petroleum based and does not distort rubber products like 0-rings

It can't hurt. I would try Tuff-Oil, it still has PTFE in it, Slick no longer has PTFE.
