I obtained a nice Olympus PC in good working order with horribly discolored and sticky rubber covering. I removed the old covering easily, and then also removed the film window on the back, smoothing it over flat. I obtained some red lizard skin from cameraleather and turned this into a rather respectable camera.
I've done 5 of these: the Oly PC, a black enamel Minolta SRT101b, a Leica M2, Leica M3, and a Yashica 635 TLR. It's not hard. Removing Leica vulcanite can be a challenge, but there is an easy method using gel varnish stripper.
