No, not those in the kitchen  :lol:

I bought a can of CaiLube MCL, manufactured by CAIG Labs, Inc.
They are most famous for ProGold GL, ProGold 5, and DeOxIt.

CaiLube MCL (Moving Contact Lubricant) is a 5% spray that is described as:

Precision lubricant for conductive plastics and carbon-based controls.
Replenishes & lubricates faders, switches, potentiometers and other sliding surfaces.


I used it on some carbon-pots and it has been phenomenal.

Now, anyone with an Alps Blue 25mm pot?
If memory serves, they are sealed on 3 sides.
Are there any lubrication points / ports?
Or do I have to spray it from the pin-out side?

Thanks!
