Re: Do you oil Hard Rubber Mouthpieces?

I've seen ebonite rollers that have crumbled to bits on some instruments (made from the '20s through to the '80s) as they've perished which I can only assume is because of contact with oil to prevent them from ratting and allowing them to move freely. Oil is well known to perish some types of rubber, so I'd play it safe and not oil an ebonite mouthpiece if unsure.
