 Re: Oxidized hard rubber

My comment is a little late for this discussion, but this problem is recent for me. I came across a fifty-year old (or more) Woodwind Co. New York Steel Ebonite clarinet mouthpiece with a G7 facing that I found extremely responsive with a fluid, centered sound -- but was so damaged by time and sun the only shiny part was where a ligature used to sit. I played Frank Wells mouthpieces for years that I dearly loved, then switched to Bob Borbeck's #11 when my Wells warped and Frank was gone. I liked Bob's piece for some time, but it just didn't blow as freely for me as my Wells -- so I started shopping again. I really like the WW G7 but couldn't put it in my mouth day after day as bad as it looked. After a few days searching for solutions on the web, I decided to try using Flitz metal polish, mentioned in earlier postings. It is also non abrasive and good for plastic, so as long as I kept away from the table, tip and rails, I didn't think I had much to lose.
Using a soft cotton cloth, I worked the Flitz polish in with slow strokes it worked like a charm but took 15 or 20 minutes to achieve visible results. So for the WW Steel Ebonite G7 mouthpiece, it looks like new. Anyone willing to give up a G6 or G6*?
