For Neoprene:
If Neoprene rubber has been Talced then this should be removed by washing with detergent or wiping with solvent soaked rag. Liquid Rubber can be applied directly to Neoprene. Some swelling of the Neoprene should be expected but this will recover over time. The distortion resulting from the swelling will be greater if Neoprene is thin and not adhered to a rigid substrate.
For Polyurethane:
A light sanding of the surface is recommended for better adhesion. No swelling will occur.
