Is it possible to remove all the black rubber from the top of the keg?

Just thinking about polishing up one or two!

I would definitely the rubber on the bottom however

Yes, it is..

not looky nicey

It should be easy enough to polish without removing the rubber? Have you a machine for polishing Will?

[Ciderhead]

but he knows a man who does thanks to Dempsey having said that Wills polishing wrist action is legendary in Malahide
Whats that stuff they put on tyres to make them shiney, that should look good.

@Garry: Is Will talking of removing it, polishing and sticking it back on again?
Removing rubber might be easy, but putting it back on?
I'd stick duct tape around rubber edges and then give it a go polishing it.

@Ciderhead: I know nasty enough, but you can always weld a handle on.

I don't know. I assumed that was what he wanted? Will, do you intend to leave the rubber on or off? (Try ignore the innuendo!!!)

In my boy racer days I used to go through tins of silicone spray. I'd say it would polish up the rubber on the cornys nicely.

...but it will be a slippery as f**k, and so will your hands.
Trying to stick handsfree kit displays onto car dashboards AFTER the valeters had used a can of the crap.
That stuff was the bane of my life for a while.

Them 3M strips that come with the car kits and reversing sensors wouldn't stick to malt extract so I wouldn't blame the silicone spray. If you want to stick something to the dash use Tec-7. The silicone spray should be dry enough to touch after a few hours. I don't think I would have put up with dust settling on my dash back in the day! How things have changed

I carried isopropyl alcohol with me for these cases.
Call-backs to a customer costs you $$$

When the corny thread started there was IIRC a photo of one without the black rubber top just two handles and the posts all polished up.

This is the effect I am looking for I would junk the rubber!

Something like this:

Aren't they the Chinese Cornys?

[johnrm]

Personally, I think the grabby bits are useful.
Try lugging them around the place without them...

Thats from Candirect so other than that no idea of origin
