hi,
	I think MCL is "moving contact lube", is it blue?  Caig's blue stuff is 
for carbon controls, don't use the red stuff in there, and if you use it 
(red) on wafer switches, spray at your own peril.  Much safer to just 
put a small drop on the switch contacts, to avoid swelling the phenolic 
wafers.
opinions are often worth what you pay for them.
