Rib \"powder\"

Belo is a quote from one of the locals in our mairna. Anyone heard of this problem before and better still know of a treatment? Tah

My Hypalon rib, as soon as you touch it you get a white powdery substance coming off and wondered if there is a product that we can use on the tubes to seal it?

Wash the salt off /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Seriously though have cleaned hypalon with t-cut finishing with a car wax polish and it's come up like new. I have also heard very good reports of ribshine.

No idea what the outcome was, but I know there was one. Might be worth a forum search?

Using 3m Conditioner after cleaning can help reduce white oxidisation.

I was really disappointed with my hyperlon Avon and used tyre shine on it , came up like new.

Not the slippery silicone one, this is foam based.
