I "used" Vibrapods to isolate my gear on my audio rack. Well, come to find out, they leave a rubber like substance on the surface when you remove them to clean, etc. Does anyone know the best solvent that will remove this stuff, that won't take the stain or finish off the wood? I have tried some mild solvents to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I looked through the threads, but could not find any other references. Thanks!
I'm afraid you're screwed. Rubber and many like products do not play well with wood finishes. Seems to be some type of chemical reaction which melts the rubber and fuses it to the wood finish, ruining the finish and even the surrounding area. Bummer. Ruined a nice sideboard cabinet top with some stupid rubber-like feet on a stupid amp stand. Now if I have to set feet like this on wood I put a small piece of packing tape on the bottom of the feet to isolate the rubber from the wood finish. You'll need to refinish the entire surface. Bummer.
Agree that ruber foot marks never come off. (except off glass) Best to use a sheet of card or thick paper cut to fit under the feet. Usually trying to remove them makes things WORSE.
