"proper" contact cleaner works better and doesn't pick up contaminants

But, of course, you must use it
vary sparingly.

Indeed, and at the force it comes out of the can, that can be tricky.
Spraying it into a small snootiness and using the tip of a screwdriver
to transfer it works. But for pots, switches, etc., it's still better
to use contact cleaner made for the job.


Exactly. I would never use WD40 on an electrical/electronic device.

I would and do all the time ......


It figures YOU would.

yes what ever works well ... ignore the "experts" .....

Ignore the "idiots".

"Amateur" had never referred to quality, it's always been about not making
money from it.

You can get beginners, you can get fools, but you can also get people who
know an awful lot, sometimes I think some have been the expert in the
field despite not getting paid.

Au contraire, for it has always been about being a lover of the art, so that
even a professional can be an amateur given the right positive mindset
