[Kenwood] Using DeoxIT on TS830 band switch...

Fri, 2 Jan 2004 12:07:52 -0500

I'd like to see documentation on that. I've used it for yrs
on pots. Once done, never done again and they become silky 
smooth. Over the years the implied purpose of WD-40 has
changed for marketing purposes. An old time TV repairman
who is no longer with us told me originally it was developed
for TV techs. Just my 2 cents.

WD-40 JUST SAY NO!

WD means Water Displacant.
Developed by NASA to remove water from tiles in the launch building and 
apply a coat of (note this) VARNISH to keep dampness from going back into 
the tiles.

So.. the stuff is a water displacing material plus varnish.

Do you want that on your switches???

I don't think so.
