Rubber Restorer...

Iso alcohol (70% works fine) is the best as it not only washes the dust off
the rollers but cleans excess ink and gunk from the rollers. Some deskjets
work fine with this system, others need a replacement roller as the molded
fingers wear off and the roller gets shiny.

-> Not sure what kind of rubber you're trying to restore, but if
-> it's printer
-> rollers you're trying to "re-stickify" what works good for me is "Marvel
