The reason I ask is that the rubber seals on a car are a soft, foamy rubber. The flippers are of a more dense rubber. I have some old pool table cushion rubber and wanted to see if this stuff would soften them up.

Thanks for the Scotty independent verification Mike! I just saw that vid, ordered it - and it'll be here on the 6th. Two more Scotty hacks: 1-gallon of lacquer thinner to 1/2-tank of gas to: clean injectors, O2 sensors and blow out the catalytic converter to clear P0420 code - cheap fix that works! And CRF505 Fuel Treatment to remove internal combustion chamber carbon build up on piston. $40 + shipping -

This stuff is super useful. I have used it to resize O-rings so I can get in-between sizes or just get a tighter fit. If you let anything soak in it indefinitely you can get any size o ring you desire. I was equally as impressed as you are

Use babywipes or something like that and open em up so they dry up. Then pour at205 inside and work it around by pressing it. After it soaks in wipes use those wipes for exposed rubber parts.

I would.... I'm no "pro" detailer, I haven't even washed my van in about a year, so if I were to get into that I'd probably do my research right here on KZbin - Wish I had a good answer for you

dielectric greases is the gm preferred lubricant for door seals it says that straight in the manual I did that to my van once a year never had to change any rubber
@AstroVanTribe Жыл бұрын
Right, I've used dielectric grease before - There's a difference between maintaining the rubber and restoring it... This AT-205 stuff revitalizes rubber, it swells it larger and softens it at the same time

Did you end up making the follow up video for this? I haven't been able to find it. I'm curious to know if it ends up breaking down the rubber long term because it's not originally developed for direct application

The fuel pump in my ‘02 Astro Van isn’t getting power. Have you ever run into this problem?
@AstroVanTribe Жыл бұрын
Not yet but I do have a Delphi pump sitting on the shelf for when mine goes out - There's a big debate on "the right way to do the fuel pump" - Many believe cutting a hole in the floor is an easier way to go because many before them purchased inferior pumps so they had to replace them often. I believe purchasing the higher end (and more costly) unit is smarter, then dropping the tank and doing the job the way it's designed to be replaced makes more sense - To each their own....

That is an awesome idea! The other rubber conditioners called "gummi pflege" actually come in a foam top bottle, but in my experience, they didn't do crap and the foam disintegrates pretty fast. Have tried AT-205 on some suspension bushes but not on weatherstrippings, so it doesn't hurt to waste a new shoe polish bottle. Stuff's pricey!

wonder if that stuff would work on door rubbers, my Astro-Van has barn doors & the weather stripping is getting hard around the barn doors, the van was brought from New Mexico & sat for 6 years when it was brought to Canada, & the part of Canada I live in is western B.C. where believe it or not we get little snow & the average temp is high 80's spring to fall & anything rubber got hard from being stored outside in sun, hope it works it would save a fortune !

@MrOiram46Ай бұрын
it needs very hot temperatures for chemical agents to revitalize rubber, that’s why it is put into areas that get hot (like the engine oil, transmission, and differential fluids) and the instructions recommending to have you drive your car for a few hours. Otherwise, it just evaporates and doesn’t do anything after it dries on the exposed rubber.

It worked well in the engine - stopped my weeping form the timing cover - It plumped up the hollow rubber around the hatch nicely but the solid foam rubber around the lower doors is too shot to keep out the dust so I'll need to replace that
