dann2707 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Rub them on a rough surface, such as sandpaper or a brick etc just to remove a thin layer of contaminated pad. Then rub some white spirit on them and let to dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Morrison Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi all ive got some pads which have had oil spilt on them does anybody know how to get the oil off them ???? Thanks in advance. A few solutions: 1. Wash them with hot soapy water although this probably wont get all the oil off. 2. Sand them or file them. 3. buy new pads, as rubber soaks up oil.

Azarathal Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Rubber doesn't absorb oil. Some pads are quite porous though and could have oil in the tiny little holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What pads are they out of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
