Vol 53, Issue 32 - "gummy" pinch roller problem

[Mike Hatch]

One thing that has worked for mee in the past is to replace the "gummy" 
rubber with black adhesive lined heatshrink tubing. Measure the old roller 
diameter, remove old rubber down to metal part, carefuly shrink on a piece 
of new heatshrink. Oversize heatshring builds up thickness quickely, sizes 
close to the diameter do so more slowly.  With *care* it can be turned to 
the correct diameter although not by much, you need to be close to finished 
size.
I used adhesive lined for the first layer on the metal core, susequent 
layers stick to each other quite well.
