My type bar cushion has not crumbled like yours did, but it is hard. In fact, I thought it was wood. Would you send me some cork? Thank for posting the photos and directions.

Sometimes it can be rewrinkled by drying it with heat. If it was worn off by years of rubbing it may not rewrinkle.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558523755501505700.post-6973579224134061292013-03-10T23:02:44.250-04:002013-03-10T23:02:44.250-04:00Interesting read.

I am going to have to try that one!

Scrubbing Bubbles is by far the most effective stuff, in my experience, for getting down into the crevices. However, it does sometimes remove a little paint and it can harm decals.
