I wish I had asked if there was a trick when I put my rubber bumpers on
a couple years ago. I used the old "hook the top edge then gently flex
the rubber over the bottom edge" method. I will say that it worked but,
as John pointed out, resulted in long bursts of profanity not to mention
blisters on both thumbs. John, any idea what we here in the USA would
call glycerine?
As for protection, the new ones do indeed powder just as much as the
originals. My father is a chem engineer. He suggested using a clear
acrylic floor wax for both keeping them supple and blocking the UV. The
stuff we have under the kitchen sink is a bit yellow, so I haven't tried
this yet and I won't suggest a brand name until I do.
