I use DeOxit too. I bought a 24 mL bottle 12 years ago and in spite of using it on hundreds of connectors the tiny squeeze bottle is till 90+% full! In short, you may pay a lot but it's for a supply that will last a lifetime (and you may well pass it on in your will). A tiny drop does the job!

I have worked on lots of corroded stuff over the years for outdoor, very nasty weather situations. I like your solution. I have used DeoxIT in the small brush bottle with fabulous success. The connectors appear very clear once applied, but there is no content listed on the package as to what chemistry is used to actually remove the oxide. There are lots of chemicals that work, but nothing like adding a little inhibitor (oil) and scrub the connector by reseating it few times. I will continue to use DeoxIT until I find out its actual content, thinking it actually does something, plus, for the uses I have, it is relatively cheap in my shop. I sure would like to know what is the 100% concentrate on the package. 73, Bill K9YEQ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
