New! Improved! Faster Drying! This very popular Lasermedia  RC-5 rubber pinch 
roller cleaner system is designed to be gentle, but  still remove the excess 
crud from your pinch roller without removing the  plasticizers that make your 
roller pliable unlike isopropol alcohol. Most  "rubber cleaner/rejuvinators" 
will remove these plasticizers over time  making your rubber roller rock hard, 
brittle, and maybe even lumpy. Some  rubber renew type products even contain 
mineral oil which can damage your  tape! Sure, they're OK on a rubber part not 
touching tape, but not OK on a  deck pinch roller. The chemical formulation of 
the RC-5 cleaner has  excellent resistance to breaking down rubber unlike 
almost every  other roller cleaner out there and it does not contain any oils at 
all.  Some are downright nasty to rubber.  
The new Lasermedia RC-5 cleaning system uses a special chemical  formula 
specially designed with consultation with a Cornell chemical  engineer to gently 
clean the pinch roller as well as revitalize the  rubber's surface to renew 
it's grip. Comes with 100 wood handled 6" cotton  tipped applicators. Contains 
eight ounces in a metal can. Made and  formulated in USA. By law this item WILL 
be  shipped by UPS ground and cannot and will not be shipped to any foreign or 
 APO addresses or by any other method. All orders inluding this item will  be 
shipped via UPS ground. Do not order  with any recording media  (tapes, 
cassettes, CDR, DVD, etc.)  Order this item separately with  other non-recording 
media items.  We are not responsible for any  leakage damage to recording media. 

Simple to  use:
Wet a cotton tipped applicator with the Lasermedia RC-5 fluid  Rub the 
surface of the roller with the applicator. This should take  about a minute per 
roller.  WIPE OFF any excess fluid when you're done cleaning with a dry  
applicator  Let roller thoroughly dry for a few minutes before use  Use only when your 
pinch roller is visibly dirty or you can feel dirt  on the surface  
Non-carcinogenic  Contains no isopropol alcohol, oils, or water.  Good for many hundreds 
of cleanings!

"I love your pinch  roller cleaner. I've been using it even on rollers in 
digital camcorders  to rejuvinate the rubber and clean it. This is the best I've 
ever used  after all these years and I mean a lot of years!"- GL NJ
