So don't use a lathe by the sounds of it!

I suspect 100% pure Lanoline may be the safest bet. You can apply this stuff to the rubber snorkels to make them look new and shiny again and it doesn't seem to hurt the material in any way. I find you need to wipe a fair bit off though, otherwise it tends to stay sticky, which only attracts dust.
