I've used Jasco on pallets in the past that nothing else would touch.

In looking up their info I just found that their former plant in Mountain View is now a Super Fund site.
Ugh.

For the time you jerk around trying to get the adhesive off and drop $40 bucks on the new rubber you might as well just drop the $150 for a new pallet. Save that one to make something else. Just saying.

M&R will re-cover them. Not sure what the cost is.

Quick update.  Heat Gun with razor scraper worked like a champ. Followed that with rapid remover for the remaining adhesive and good to go for new rubber.  Mike and Sam at Under Pressure had an extra sheet of the Action Rubber they let me have (which I will be replacing when the ones I ordered from Action arrive).  Can't thank them enough for helping out in the crunch.

Except for the one that had FLAMES halfway to the ceiling right through the center mesh of a burned screen frame and smoke so thick the embroidery room stank for 3 days.
