Phil,
Blair is lucky you answered him. If Doug was still drinking Mountain Dew he
would have been all over him like a cheap suit. Brian would have covered all
the dirt on this subject, including the definition of, from recorded history
on. I would not have been able to resist all the double entendres that
dawned on me or all the potential soap opera scenarios.
I do agree with you on your cleaning suggestions. It appears you have yachts
experience in this area.
Take care, yawl.
Dewey

I've had good luck with Woolite for many delicate washing needs like
nose goo from glasses, wrist watch bands and my sails from my sail boat.
Another good cleaner is dishwasher soap e.g., Cascade, etc. Works for
forehead goo on the headband of your ball caps. Just put the hat on the
top tray and let her rip. It also worked will for getting out the salt
and dirt from the rigging lines (ropes for you landlubbers) at the end
of the sailing season.
When passing down computers, we have found that the Miller-Stephenson
"Safezone Cleaner for Plastic, Glass and Metal" works wonders if you
lightly spray it on and give it a few minutes to "soak" before wiping it
off.

Subject: [TN] A Friday question
Greetings 'netters:
Had the occasion last night to perform surgery on a cordless telephone,
the buttons had become dysfunctional rendering the phone basically
unusable. I've done this on other phones before, and each time have
found that the elastomer switch panel and printed circuit board have
become coated with some kind of "goo".
I believe that this "goo" is the accumulation of skin oils which somehow
migrate into the phone and get under the elastomer, but have thought
that perhaps some manufacturers intentionally put some kind of compound
on the elastomer for some reason (sealing?). I'm leaning toward the skin
oil explanation, since we make products here with elastomer switch
panels and have never used any sealing compound during assembly. Anyone
else out there doing this kind of assembly and do you put anything on
the elastomer during assembly?
Also, in the past I've cleaned up the elastomer with drug store IPA
(91%), but here I was last night working in the kitchen with a Swiss
army knife (one with all the tools on it) and there next to me was the
sink and a bottle of Palmolive detergent. Well, I though, aqueous wash,
and went at it. It worked pretty well, but after reassembly the left
over moisture began condensing on the window and it was hard to see the
display. I'm sure this will clear up after a while, though.
So what do you cleaning gurus think is the best way to remove the "goo",
whatever it is? IPA or Palmolive? Is Palmolive a saponifier or a
surfactant, or both?
Happy Friday,
Blair
