Hi all,
Brake fluid will work OK for paint removal on rubber IF it doesn't
dissolve the particular type of rubber you are using it on.
DOT 2, 3, 4, and 5.1 glycol fluids are capable of dissolving several
types of rubber. DOT 5 silicone fluid won't dissolve rubber (as far as
I know), but it doesn't dissolve paint, either.
For example, if you put DOT 3 into an older Land Rover, it will soon
start leaking everywhere as the seals slowly dissolve into a
gelatin-like mass. I've seen it personally, plus you can read about the
problem on the Land Rover BBS.
I'd definitely test it on a scrap piece first.
Alan
