California Duster

Has anyone ever tried to rejuvenate a california duster? I tried once, washed it in the machine and then dripped melted parfin (Canning stuff) on it, wrapped it in newspaper and cooked it on the drive way. It worked after a fashion but was a little too thick. Any ideas on what to treat it with?

Yeah, since they are so cheap, just get a
new one buddy....It's not worth the hassle
of trying to revive it.

They should age gracefuuly but when push comes to shove, I use it to clean the wood chips off the shop table.
