GC used to sell a device which looked like an overgrown 
hypodermic device which screwed onto the threaded bushing 
which holds the pot to the panel. You took the knob off the 
shaft, filled this hypodermic device with your cleaner, screwed 
in onto the pot, and forced the goop into it through the shaft-to-
bushing space by working the plunger. It worked pretty well as 
I remember it. I lost mine many years ago.
