Good cleaner lube?

Thanks for the product suggestions.

Do I take it from your disclaimer that you WILL be responsibile for any adverse effects if the products are used as the labels instruct?

I gave up, for now, of my quest to buy Cramolin Contaclean. Its costs hundreds of dollars to get it shipped into the US.

Try Caig Deoxit and/or the other items in their product line.

Radioshack (eeewwww) even carries some of the Caig line.

My can of Tech Spray Lub-A-Trol is so old, I think it was replaced with this:

The Paslode is sold at Home Depot in the tool department, near power nailers etc.

I havn't tried Deoxit, but you get next to nothing in volume and it's sooo... expensive.

According to the CAIG web site, Cramolin was discontinued because of EPA rules. They list Deoxit as the replacement. If you're able to find it anywhere in the world, it's probably vendor old stock.

Its also only a 5 % mixture. You can by 100% in a tube. I bought their internet sample kit some time ago and it seems to be very comparable to 100 % Cramolin.

They discontinued it beacause they quit buying it from the maker in Germany. They wanted to do it theirselves, so they made a substitute. The Cramolin company has never stopped making it.

Hello, and I've used DeoxIT D5 spray for several years now. It is without a doubt the best electrical contact cleaner I've ever come across. It does wonders with old scratchy radio potentiometers (volume/tone controls) and works its magic on old model train layouts where voltage drops on metal-to-metal track feeds and other contacts can be a big headache. Caig products may seem expensive but a little of them goes a long way. And it usually will be quite a while before you have to use them again. Sincerely,

I've always had good luck with Nu-Trol Control Cleaner made by

It's cat number 401B-140g (barcode 779008401149).

It's a big can!!

I have been playing with CRC cans from The Home Depot. Very inexpensively priced. Both a lub and a cleaner only. I think it was in the electrical department. Seems like these were less than half the price of comparables. I also find plain alcohol to be as good as most cleaners. I also like Stabilant. Since Stabilant is mostly suspended in alcohol, its a very effective cleaner-inhancer.

I do like the LPS product line but it always seems harder to find. The Cramolin company, like LPS, is a ITW company.
