Howdy folks.

I have some intact and flexible Modolo hoods (anatomic gum) that I am certain would not presently come off the levers in one piece. What products/concoctions do you folks use on gum hoods to preserve them, or better yet revitalize them? Son of a Gun, an Armour All type treatment, has been recommended to me (thanks Bruce :^) and I have read of folks using low gloss Armour All (and others saying "Whatever you do, don't use Armour All ;^) I am curious to hear what seems to help and what doesn't. Thanks in advance.
