The dreaded Black rubber run
« on: June 30, 2020, 03:33:14 pm »
OK guys started last couple of months changing to wfp on a whole everything going great, but I did one last month you know the kind you used to run a scrim round rubbers and it came off on cloth like boot polish, anyways did it wfp and payed particular attention as I knew this would be a hassel so done it three times this particular window as it leached a black run you guessed it down middle off window never happens down edge does it  😝, so knew what was Coming today you left that window with a big run down it last Time,
I was not going over this window a forth time as custie would be wondering wtf,
So did it today 2 and still leaching black
So really asking the forum, how can I put a stop to this I was wondering if getting a ladder up and rubbing vasaline round the rubber would rejuvenate it, a bit
Any advice welcomed
Cheers guys

I tf r these rubber sills - then scrub without water and then scrub with high flow until water runs clear - from then on the windows are a pleasure to do
(Now modded - to tfr)

How do you mean "tar", is this some Norfolk technique?
