You need to protect it from ozone and UV, the good stuff (Mine!)
www.aerofoam.com/hosemonster.html
is loaded with carbon black for UV protection.
I will be getting the "rubber milk" Hollyday Designs sold for treatment.
There are a number of protectants that are available, armor all is probably
the worst. I have witnessed things deteriorate much faster with armor all
than with nothing at all.
Some people put their rubber in a bucket of water for storage, this is a
good way to do it too.
I keep mine in a soft ice chest type bag, this keeps the moisture in and the
temps fairly constant.
I have been using the same catapult for 4 years without any special
treatment.
It is showing signs of being retired to a zip start.......
