i just bought a rubber pen. yes rubber. I had it in a leather case that stained on the rubber. Now I have black leather dye stains on the yellow rubber of the pen. I've tried many products but it doesn't seem to help. Can anyone let me know a trick?

Best,

Dedalus

The dye probably soaked into the rubber and isn't coming out. Sorry.

That's right. Rubber is porous and absorbent and has absorbed the dye stain that migrated from the leather. The stain is permanent.
