Steps to Remove the Melted Rubber:Begin by scraping off as much of the rubber as possible. If it is still soft, harden it by placing an ice cube on it for a few seconds. To remove the remaining residue, moisten a sponge or soft cloth with dry cleaning solvent and dab it onto the rubber.
Similarly, why does rubber go sticky? Natural or synthetic rubber starts out as a very sticky substance. That's because the molecules in the raw state are long chains of very weak links to each other. To turn that raw material into the rubber we all know and love, you have to put it through a process called vulcanisation.
