I have to agree Bruce. Pushing on the roller rubber with my fingernail made only a very slight indent. Seems they have hardened. The light wiping with the lacquer thinner did give them a bit more grip, but that won't last long. Just have to keep at it I guess.
New rollers are that expensive, Huh? (They remind me of the rollers on an old ringer washer. Hmmm, I wonder?)
Well, I guess a new planer will be in my future too, but not for a good while yet.
