What did the leper say to the prostitute?
Keep the tip.
:nono:
 
Here is a very insightful video I found today.

Robert Baker bought a 79 LP KM much like my Avatar LP. However, his came as he said, in Low Hours condition.
I found it interesting how he said with his coming to own and play it, the volume pots wore to a point of failure. I watched up to 13 minute mark but think you guys would benefit from the vid.

All he needed was to spray G100 or D100 into the pot, and that would have solved it. Many techs are using the wrong type cleaners which are not long lasting. D5 is not long lasting.
You would be surprised how few of these guitar techs understand how to clean a guitar pot.

It's absurd.
They take the pot out...for no reason; 'cause they don't know how.

See why I post this stuff? Various ways to muck up or fix known issues. How do we know unless we see it done or do it ourselves, or have positive vs negative experiences explained, etc

CAIG DeoxIT D5 - Contact Treatment | Hosa Cables

CAIG DeoxIT D5 contact cleaner cleans, protects, lubricates, and improves conductivity for connectors and other metal surfaces.

DN5 is a dripless spray that evaporates almost instantly, leaving behind no wetness. It also comes with a flexi-tip for effective application on hard-to-reach components. DN5 is preferable for areas where you’re concerned about dripping into water-sensitive components, such as sound boards.


Unlike the DeoxIT D5 and DN5, the D100 DeoxIT spray contains no solvent, so it’s better used as a lubricant for highly sensitive equipment. DeoxIT GOLD is another gentle cleansing conditioner spray for new or recently cleaned surfaces.


100% vs. 5% Spray Volume: What’s the Difference?​


The DeoxIT D5 series is so named because it contains a 5% solution of DeoxIT added to propellant and solvent. The DeoxIT D100 is a 100% concentrated solution of DeoxIT.


Due to its added propellant, DeoxIT D5 is briefly flammable, whereas D100 is non-flammable. DeoxIT D5 does, however, offer more flushing action to remove debris. D100 has no solvents, making it a gentler choice that offers more lubrication. The lack of propellant in D100 also makes it more environmentally friendly.
