[ARC5] Lubricating Pins

[Richard Knoppow]

     I suggest using a small artist's brush rather than a cotton swab 
(Q-tip) to avoid leaving strands of cotton on the switch. I think it is 
also more controllable.
     Pipe cleaners are a sort of forgotten art. They work very well for 
a number of uses. There are both fine and coarse ones. I don't know 
where you get them now other than a smoke shop, used to be a standard 
hardware item.
