Surface plates & hand scraping - should I or shouldn't I?

[Highpower]

Thanks Tony. Pretty much what I expected. I had a look at the tech sheet on my Dykem Hi-Spot Paste and found this:

• Removable with Dykem® Remover &
Cleaner.

Any idea if this will damage a soft rubber brayer? Or do you have a better recommendation for a cleaner to use?
I had sent the same question to dymon.com but their email bounced. View attachment 689

I'd be very cautious with Dykem remover. A thorough wipedown with paper towels first, then a damp, and only damp with the remover would probably be fine. Thing is, you don't want to saturate the brayer with any solvent. If you only use damp wipes, it won't soak in. The surface will dry quickly enough.
