Honda Shin-etsu silicone grease. It applies like face lotion.

Some pics taken at STGCC. Dome seems to be in a very good condition.

I'm amazed the arms are posed the right way up considering the fails elsewhere

Cheers for all these pics though.

 

[fosing]

you folks using them oils and creams for damage control should post some pics before and after, then post it here.
that way you guyz give each other a heads up with what works and what to avoid.

Not sure how many weeks I've had the Honda silicon on, at least 4.
So far, no visible signs of cracking,maybe it's working, idk

Same here with liqui molly rubber care.
Used it once, 2 weeks ago, ED´s in his 5th week, no signs so far...

Hope it all works out for you guys.

"It rubs the lotion on its dome or else it gets the rotting rubber again."

F---ing hilarious!

Bump!

Don't buy this unless it's heavily discounted or free!

Well...cornerstore just exchanged my old ED for a new one. I was told by Jedster at Famcon that this silicone lube should do the trick.

Ok, apologies for not keeping up on this, but has anyone who applied some kind of silicone lubricant or rubber protector to their Ed-209's STILL had deterioration regardless, or is it (so far) considered a fix?

Getting tears in your rubber will give any guy pause.

I'm happy with my neca ed-209, no rotting rubber worries at all with it, + don't take up much space either.

Well said. But if a $9 can of silicone is all it takes to keep this guy in good condition, then $258 is really hard to pass up.

Do you know for sure thats the solution? hasn't been many posts on here, which worries me kinda.
