Wait about 1 hour, for the spray to dry, before using the radio again. WD and some contact cleaners are a) flamable and/or b) conductive I strongly recommend using the appropriate Caig product (available at Radio Shack) rather than WD-40 or a solvent chosen at random. That will help ensure that it stays clean and properly lubricated after the cleaner dries. Huh? How hot a spark can you make with 6 V? You can certainly make a spark with 6 volts. It's unlikely to happen in an RF gain control. I know you can make a spark; is it enough to ignite light oil? Naptha perhaps... I work in an electronics lab facility where we use every kind of cleaner there is. We've never waited an hour to avoid explosions from the De-Ox-It or the WD-40. |
