Thanks everyone, I will attack it today, I will go over them with masking tape as Hack suggested and then go over them with alcohol (isopropyl).Daryl,
I've got that same thickness planer. My issue is that the rubber coating on the feed rollers has started to deteriorate, a couple cracks, etc.
I would guess the "rubber" is something like buna/nitrile rubber.
Looking up chemical compatibility for buna indicates Isopropyl alcohol is "good"
for mineral spirits what reference I have indicates "excellent" compatibility.
However if they are natural rubber, then the mineral spirits shows a "severe effect do not use"
I'd try a quick wipe with rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) and see if it loosens the residue.
