DeoxIT on tube pins


I remember reading that this is not to be done & only a comprehensive clean using fine grit paper.

What's the general consensus?

Thanks

The general problem with using Caig Gold or any product(Stabilant-22) left on the pis... is the HEAT. The heat will gradually turn the stuff added to a hard, NON -CONDUCTING shield and reduce, rather than enhance the flow of electricity. Mainly due to using too much goo. Way too many folks think if a tiny amount is good, lots more is better... and thus the later crying that the sound has gone bad. Also the effect on the sockets is cumulative. So if you redo the pins a lot, the sooner the hidden socket sleeves will become messed up with the baked on goo. So in general, best to not use any at all.
IF (IMO anyway) one could resist the temptation to leave too much on.. I think it could be used But the amount would need to be microscopic at most. And done only ONCE in the life of the tube. (and for folks who do not tube roll only) So put the Caig Gold on. then wipe it off as well as you can with a cloth rubbing it off a lot. The tiny amount left is the right amount. and way less than one can leave on IC and power cord blades..
@helomech,

That's a clever trick my friend. I wonder how the magic eraser + a contact cleaner on the ME would work?
Walker recommend using fine grit paper on the pins before applying their E-SST...
I agree that one should not use excessive amounts of any enhancer.  Nor should one repeat the treatment over and over again. I have read warnings about using Walker SST on tube pins, because of the heat issue raised by Elizabeth.  But is there real evidence that ProGold bakes on and forms a non-conductive goop?  First of all, it seems to be a fairly dilute liquid.  Just the act of installing the tube after a single treatment, even assuming one does not wipe off the excess liquid a priori, would tend to re-distribute the suspension (or the solution) such that there is mostly metal to metal contact between pin and socket.
