[urq] [s-cars] Re. Stabilant

[Stephen Redford]

------ Stabilant is not a cleaner.  It is a contact enhancer.    DeOxit and some other stuff are cleaners.   The idea is too clean the surfaces to the bare metal ,  then apply the Stabilant.   VERY little is needed;  just enough to cover the contact surfaces.   So a little goes a long way.   It was made for electronic type connections.  Like in computers.   It is Not for switches or anything that lets the contact surfaces open and close .    The surfaces need to Stay in contact for the stabilant to be effective.  Usually a good cleaning will do the job .  Dissimilar metals tend to corode , especially if there is moisture around .  Keep them clean and dry and they should be good.     It's in the Book !     :-))               Hope this helps a little,        ...Stephen R.
