While building an old Hubley metal model, I needed to soften the 50 some year old tires. I surfed Al Gore's amazing internet and found a soaking solution; 3 parts Isopropyl Alchohol mixed with 1 part Wintergreen oil and overnite soak. Results: pliable but slightly swollen tires that seem to be tightening on the wheels as time goes by. Has anyone tryed this on their bike rubber parts?
