finger nail polish remover, the kind with acetone may well be a good way to re-soften rollers, and it may be a good alternative for people who can't locate the specialty chemicals designed for the job. adding a little less volatile hydrocarbon might make the results last longer, say some cooking oil or lard. you'd have to wipe off the excess after letting it soak in of course, but the idea is to add a "solvent" to the rubber to soften it and make it more grippy. again, if you're in the us or canada try mcm.com who caries a couple different rubber rejuvenators. i wish i could suggest a good european source but i'm just not familiar with that market, being as i don't live there.
