This is never a permanent fix, and rarely anything but a very 
short-term one.  If the switch has welded itself once, it will do so 
again.  Even taking the switch apart and dressing the contacts is 
only a short-term fix.

Microswitches are cheap -- buy a new one and install it.  Get the 
highest contact current rating you can in the correct form 
factor.  While you're at it, buy two, so you'll have one for next 
time.  Put a proper snubber across the new switch to maximize its life.
