Evan -
I suspect your "rubber" feet are really vinyl. Vinyl is notorious for
producing outgassing products, e.g., that cloudy film all over the
inside of your car windshield. Sealing with Polyurethane might work,
but if I was going to all the trouble to remove them, I'd replace them
with rubber feet from McMaster or similar.

Fellow Drake enthusiasts,
I added some rubber feet to an MN-2700 tuner to raise it up for my
station so I could mount it above the fans on my L4B. Unfortunately,
the out-gassing odor of the feet is causing an allergic reaction for
my xyl and an annoyance for me. I tried the home remedies, pine
cleaners, soaking in vinegar for several days, burying them in baking
soda for several days, leaving them outdoors in the sun, etc. etc. and
nothing has worked so far. Any ideas? I don't relish the idea of
removing them from the MN-2700 since the tuner has to be partially
disassembled to gain access to the mounting screws for the rear two
feet. Then I could seal the extensions with clear polyurathane spray.
Not a pleasant job, hi hi.
