I have disconnected the pneumatics on the air motor and clamped them closed for a couple of days. It usually improoves the problem, but not always completely.
Unfortunately, I've never found any chemical or product that successfully softens the cloth on a long-term basis. What does work the best is water. You wet the cloth with a small brush and then run the motor at a reasonable speed until the cloth is fully dry. (Usually less than 20 minutes.)

Great video and good explanation
Well done and well explained.
Thanks for the demo and explanation of how to prevent 'loaping'. Once the air motor has 'taken a set', is there any way to help soften up the cloth?

BTW, this doesn't soften the cloth. It basically makes all of the bellows the same in terms of their stiffness from 'open' to 'closed'.
