    Deardorff sticky bellows?

    I have a Deardorff v11 that was stored for about ten years. The bellows have become sticky in the corners, and I was wondering any safe way to clean them up. Other than that the bellows look to be in nice shape, just a little stiff. Any help I would gladly take, I am trying to not have to replace them.

    Interesting, is the belows leather or synthetic? I have two V5's that have belows from the late 1980's; both are stored in a safe and the belows are as new. I'd look at Ken Hough's site for cleaning suggestions. L

    I think they are synthetic, and the problem is mainly at the corners.
