Abstract
A method of restoring an elastomer by providing an article containing a first elastomer and having a surface, contacting the surface with a layer conformal to the surface, and applying heat and pressure to the layer. The layer contains a second elastomer and a solute. The heat and pressure induce a transfer of the solute from the layer to the article.
