Default Restoring pliability to rubber recoil pads

I read years ago that the pliability could be restored to dried, hardened rubber, like recoil pads, by repeatedly soaking it in liquid silicone. I tried it with a NIB hardened Jostam pad. I bought a can of silicone spray from NAPA and kept it sitting in it in a sealed Ziploc bag for a few months. It did nothing to soften it.

Does anybody know of any way to restore the pliability to old, dried, hardened rubber?
